I have done a big quilt on my regular machine. I used a single decorative stitch (like a diamond shape) to "tie" it or tack it in the center most places. When I got more to the outside where I could move the quilt easier I did some FMQ & some hearts in the borders. There are at least 2 different tutorials in the tutorial section of the board that show Quilt as you go- square by square. I was just looking at them yesterday & they are on my to do list.
