I understand the satisfaction of doing it all yourself, and yes, it is a big quilt for a smaller machine, but if you cut the batting into thirds and just add in one section at a time, it will be much easier....there are tutorials showing how to do this. I did fmq on a 112" square quilt and on a small machine. It wasn't easy and certainly not my best effort (first attempt at fmq) but I finished it and my sister loves it! I would make a bunch of small (12-18") sandwiches and practice your fmq at lots of different patterns (hearts, stippling, meander, loops, etc) before I started on a large quilt....it is harder than it looks. Check out Leah Day's website....she has great fmq patterns to practice and use on quilts. Binding is relatively easy compared to fmq, but check out the videos and tutorials as there are many different methods. Then pick one and bind your practice sandwiches. By the time you've done them all, you will be a pro and ready for your large quilt!
