I recently finished quilting one that is 108"x108" on my Janone with a 9" throat using SID, feathers, echoing, flowers, vines, and more, mostly FMQ. It was tough doing the center because I had to scrunch so much under the machine. My first attempt was hideous but with practice, patience, and determination I am very happy with my efforts. Start with small projects using simple designs and before you know it you will be very surprised with the results. Not to mention the amount of satisfaction you will feel. BTW, I do NOT use gloves, rubber tips, or other aids to move the fabric, I use glycerine. A couple drops on your fingertips will give you all the friction you need to move your project, the glycerine is not harmful to your fabric and your skin will love the stuff. Any drug store will sell you a lifetime supply for $5 or less.[ATTACH=CONFIG]326278[/ATTACH]
