I did fmq on a 100 x 100 log cabin on my 6600. I had a table to the left and a table behind my sewing table to make sure the quilt was fully supported. I had just been to a Ricky Timms workshop. I quilted that baby one pot holder at a time. I did a lot of relaxing of the shoulder exercises and they still hurt.

I quilted SITD on an 88" X 78" quilt this year on my Featherweight. I did all the sashing and then went to my Bernina and quilted free motion, free hand squiggles in each block. Why did I do that on my FW when I had a bigger machine? To see if I could! So I could brag about it! ! ! LOL

I just finished a queen bed spread...I believe it's 106" x 112". I stitched in the ditch the very top (I made 12" squares) then the borders I was going to FMQ but the underside was looping. Rather than get angry I chose 3 quilting designs for my embroidery machine and hooped and hooped and hooped. I'm just about done and I'll post pictures soon

I am currently quilting my 2nd ever to make quilt on my Viking Topaz 20. The quilt is approximately 93" x 97". Guaranteed it is a pain, but so far I am managing with only a few mess ups. It isn't going to the Quilting Show, so I am not stressing about a few mistakes. None of it is perfect, but my daughter can't wait to get it, and that makes me very happy. :-)
I hope this helps with your decision.
BTW, I am stitching in the ditch, nothing fancy.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]487137[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487138[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487139[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]487140[/ATTACH]This past winter/spring I quilted a large queen almost king size on my DSM Bernina. It is approx 101 x 111. I did a FMQ Flower and leaf design all over the quilt. It actually went much better than I had expected. It took 11 bobbins and I worked on it over 3 days.
I have a desk that my machine sinks into and the back lifts up to give me a larger flat surface. I also put wood clamps and cardboard around the edges to keep the quilt from falling off. I just made a big "puddle" and worked in that.

I did a king on my trusty Singer. No it was not easy and I cursed the fabric many times. My DH moved my machine out into the middle of the family room so that there was room for the quilt to lay without becoming bunched up. You can do it, just remember it will take time and all the patience you can muster.

I quilted a queen size on my Viking 1100 when it was new. It was a quilt that was going to be in a lot of shows, as it was a commemoration of the first Iraq war when we got Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait. I've also done a queen size log cabin on my Pfaff 1473 (which I no longer have.)
