Default Yes. Take the Craftsy class on Big quilts on small machines.

So do any of you quilt your large quilts at home on your small machines? I need to hear that it can be done. I'm really nervous to start a large quilt.

Gayle, I took the Craftsy class called "Big Quilts on Small Machines" Ann is a great teacher with great ideas on how to handle the batting, top and bottom. It worked for me. My Elna "1973" has 6.5". I did get a new Horizon in2012. Not the first year that they came out. The 11" is even better. Also took Ann's class on Machine Quilting. Getting better all the time.
