I have a mid arm (15") maybe if you use a thicker batt it may work but those stitches would have to be perfectly centered in the layers to keep one from showing, when it's washed those needle holes will close up some and make it less visible. when you put a quilt on a frame you do each layer seperate, on a different roller and just can't know for sure that the center of the top and the center of the back is going to roll up equally to hit center to center, side to side is pretty easy but not top to bottom.
