I've learnt from experience that it's better to 'puddle' the quilt rather than roll it. This way you can cope fairly easily with a double.

The largest Quilt I've done on my 35 year old Bernina 830 was large queen size for my Granddaughter's wedding last summer.

I did two queens. It was difficult but I got them done and they looked good.

I have done several king size and queen size, as well as twins and baby quilts on my regular machine. Then my DH talked me into buying a longarm. Hurray!!

I have quilted a queen sized on my huskvarna. It is difficult, but it can be done. Don't let the size of a quilt scare you into not using your machine. Also if you accomplish this, then you'll be able to quilt full, twins, cribs as well as lap quilts.

I also agree with what Grammy Dwynn said.

I've done a king size on mine. I would recommend starting with a crib size to start.

The largest was probably real close to a king. Quilted on my Juki TL98 QE. Not a big deal.
