Right now there's an on line course at Craftsy.com on quilting (FMQ) a larger quilt on a home machine. I bring it up because it shows you how to do the quilt in pieces and then put it all together. It really isn't as difficult as you might imagine, and I'm using it all the time now because I've done my last King Size under a 7" harp! Not that it can't be done, but you ladies all know what I'm talking about! A King size is so much easier when quilted in 4 pieces, and then zipped together. It's awesome! Check it out! Plus she has other techniques if you don't want to quilt in pieces. Very helpful. Highly recommend. And there's no reason the techniques wouldn't work on an older Singer either.
