I have done both. It's quite a job, but it can be done. I just finished a big king, which I won't do again. You have to be sure you have all 3 layers pinned together, without any puckers in backing. Then start rolling from the right side(right side up)to the middle of quilt. Now the begins: stuff the rolled part thru the open space between motor and stitching needle. Work on thei half unrolling for each (next) row. It's best to don one row vertically-- then reroll from botton or top to center and do one horizonattly(SP). Now re roll from side to center and work to end of side. Turn quilt bottom edge up, reroll, and quilt.
I know that you can some sort of clips to put arnd the rolled part, we were told to use the old fashioned bicycle pant clips. I managed to fine them, but ended up just shoving the roll thru. It can be done, I've done several queen and king. Takes a lot of time and patience. We were to told to use a GOOD invisible thread for the top thread. Be sure to get a strong one or you'll be fighting breakage all the time. Use quilting thread on bobbin, it does work. Good Luck, Mary Lou (hope this makes sense to you, if not email me at
[email protected] and I'll try to make instructions a little more clear)
