I really like your quilt.
It really wasn't as hard as I expected Sharon. I worked from the centre doing a quarter of the quilt towards the edges, then turned it around for the next quarter and so on.
I had a table behind the machine against the wall and another at the left of me to the wall which held the rest of it - I just puddled it all around the area I was working on. On this earlier thread theres a pic of it while working on it

The 6600 harp is 9", but I think your Bernina is 3" longer at 12"
so you should be able to get a large quilt through easily, it's just a matter of constructing your sewing area to support the quilt really. I wish I had your machine :lol:
