I'm posting a picture of my question. I want to handquilt my granddaughter's quilt.... only problem is...the king size quilt doesn't fit my frame. I folded in the borders and think I should be able to quilt the body first and do the borders after I take it off the frame. After all, I hear of lots of people hand quilting in a hoop or small plastic snap frame. This wouldn't be much different. I will make sure the area I'm quilting is smooth and readjust when I turn the quilt.

I ask this question without any pictures and got discouraged. People thought it wouldn't be a good idea. I do appreciate their comments. I had my son and DH help me roll it on the frame so there weren't any huge wrinkles and it's square on the rails. If this won't work... okay. I just can't afford having it quilted by hand from someone else.... don't know anyone that does handquilting anymore anyway.

So give me your honest opinion..... I don't want to ruin the whole thing..... but I need to get it done..... cheaply, if possible.
