I have done one on my DSM.If after you have put and pinned the layers together-you can divide it into fourths and quilt each quarter at a time.Sort of like cutting a sandwich into 4 pieces.I just start towards the middle of the whole intersection and work my way outwards.Hope this is as clear as mud to you!

And even if I did, how in the world am I going to man-handle a king-sized quilt in my machine? I have a 9" throat, and I've successfully done two twin-sized quilts which weren't too bad. The local longarm quilters are a little out of my budget. Has anyone quilted a king top? If so, do you have any tips about basting and/or quilting?
