The panto I did on this quilt was 5-1/2", but it was tight by the time I got to the end of the quilt...that big roll in front of the machine pillar really cuts down the work space. I was able to do the whole motif in full size for 99% of the quilt. I have done a 4-1/2" motif on a 90x90 quilt, so I know it can be done. You have to roll it really tight to be able to do it. Don't be worried...even if it gets tight at the very end you can just slightly modify the motif (following "inside the lines") on top and bottom to make it fit. It will be such a subtle difference no one will know but you!
