I've done all of my own FMQ so far, I don't have a walking foot so ditch stitching is a pitb. I've made a ton of quilts, I think my current machine has the biggest throat space of any I've owned, it's a New Home 6000. I haven't done a king but I've done full & queens. The one (baby) quilt I started hand quilting was for my first dd, born 14 yrs ago...it's still not done, LOL. Occasionally I tie a quilt, that's about all the handwork my hands can take.
