That's my dream too, Mandyrose! I don't know if you can see from my picture, but I only have a domestic machine too. It is really hard on my shoulders, and my wrists (these big quilts are so much harder to maneuver if you don't have a quilting machine with one of those large quilting table attachments.) Good luck on your quilt, just take it slow, allow yourself breaks every half hour to stretch your neck and shoulders, that will help.
