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.

One thing that I find is very helpfull is to place tables all around my quilting table so the quilt stays up on them all at one level. When the quilt fall over the edge is when it pulls and the tension gets off. I have been quilting my quilts this way on a home machine for many years. I'm getting pretty good at it if I don't say so myself.
