I like this idea because you did it...instead of having someone else do it. I am hoping my machine can handle king but I mostly make full size quilts so should be fine.

I can handle up to queen-size on my own machines but the king-size quilts are usually gifts for someone special so I want it done right. Might be worth checking in your area to see if there is a shop that rents out their longarms.
