I have done several quilts with this message because I have a pinched nerve in my neck which gives me a lot of trouble and managing a big quilt for free motion is not easy for me. Also I make so many quilt tops it is too expensive to have them quilted by someone else. I have learned to adapt almost any pattern to the quilt as yo go method. You do have to think before you do. I try to plan out how the quilt is going together, for instance if it has a medallion in the middle I will sandwich and quilt that first, then add the top and bottom borders after piecing or whatever, then the side borders and just keep working out from the center. Also I have found the thinner, more compact batting makes FMQ much easier. I use Hobbs Thermore Polyester batting.
