My first quilt was a queen size to the floor - should make it my Avatar - I was bound determined I was doing it ALL. I have a nice Brother machine, but of course with a small throat. I rolled and rolled my quilt half way - hung it over a table and over my shoulder. Now, I didn't do fancy schmancy quilting, but waves and it worked, but wasn't easy. BUT I do feel good for doing it ALL. I'm sure my quilt would be more beautiful if a longarmer had done it and I might go that route someday. So far I have done six smaller quilts on my machine. Good Luck - Have fun with it!
