I agree. My largest quilt took me quite awhile on my little Janome. It was heavy too. I would quilt some, rest some. When you get tired, walk away. Quilting is my least favorite part of the process, but there is such satisfaction when you are done and you can say you did the whole thing will give you such satisfaction. And there may be a few blips, but no one will notice. Would love to see your completed quilt, please share.

If so, you can roll the quilt in half and work at one half at a time. Don't let it pull off the table or the stitches will be wonky. Don't forget to take breaks and just have fun with it.
