Another puddler here (although I call it "mushing"). My machine is on a large table, with another table to my left. I will often throw excess quilt over my shoulder as well. I use Machingers gloves, threads don't stick to them, so I don't have to remove them when cutting threads. The largest quilt I've done is queen...I don't have a king sized bed, so I've never made a king sized quilt. As long as I don't try to go any farther than the center of the quilt, I don't have trouble. I've actually become quite good at octopus wrestling!
