I have a Janome with an 11inch throat and have quilted king size quilts with it. I like the look of custom quilting,not too much into the panto graph format. It's like eating an elephant..one section at a time. I usually stabilize it by stitching down the middle both ways,and then do 1/4 at a time. Quilting gloves,a little music,a thimbleful of wine...I'm good to go!
