I quilted my new bed throw on my Pfaff, but I also only used SID quilting. I guess with a lot of practice one could also do free-motion quilting. In that case one option I once saw was to sit in front of the side of the machine, so that you have the machine lengthwise in front of you (I hope everybody knows what I mean). That way you can have the rolled up part of the quilt behind the needle and quilt from left to right.
