I realize larger quilts may not be able to be quilted on a reg sewing machine.. But maybe I am wrong!
I quilted a king size quilt on my regular machine. the design was split rail and I made the quilt top in 3 sections. then I put my backing and batting together with each section and quilted each part separately. after each section was quilted I sewed the sections together. I took a class in quilting this was at the LQS. And I think there is a book available on quilting this way, actually listing 2-3 different ways to join the sections.
