It adjusts up to 110 inches and the quilt top is 104. I have to make the trigger cloth covers for the rollers before beginning. I was hoping that I could get a few pointers from those of you who hand quilt. Any info would be helpful! I've watched videos and read a lot but hearing from real quilters would be great! Thanks!
