By the way, I didn't buy it to make money, I bought it so that I could finish all the tops that I had accumulated. Sure beats trying to quilt them on a small machine. Hope this helps :!:
hi azam,
mine is also 120". i shoot for a 95 - 98" quilt and call it a queen size, because my antique bed is so high off the floor. add to that today's high mattress and box spring sets and wow! you really need that extra. if i had a king bed i don't know how big the quilt would have to be with the tall mattress/box spring sets. you still need enough to cover the box spring with the drop. by having the hinterberg frame, we could have gotten the poles a little longer. eeek! it would be sticking out the window with that setup :roll: .
for a king, what size do you try for? i leave a blank area on the sides to refill the bobbins. do you? and how do you reach underneath to snip off the threads at the end of each pattern? enquiring minds want to know.
