Klue is correct, there is no absolute need to turn the quilt. However, a large queen or king sized quilt will allow much less quilting space at the end of the quilt. Using a 9" throat machine, you could be down to as little as 3" of available quilting space at the end of a large quilt. Even less, if you use thick batting. I recently purchased one of these setups (Pfaff GrandQuilter) and plan to turn my first queen sized around at the halfway point. This way, I should still have 5" of quilting space throughout the entire quilt.
