I have a regular sewing machine and I quilt my own quilts. The largest I did was a queen. I stitch in the ditch and do meandering on the borders. You can meander the whole quilt. Just practice on some scrap or muslin. Make a sandwich like you would for a quilt and practice. I also just made a pattern like a heart and butterfly, traced them on tissue paper and pinned it in the square and stitched on the lines. This worked great. So just try it and you will get better at it. I could never afford to send my tops out. I also hand quilt which takes a long time but it is relaxing. I just hand quilt certain ones.
