It takes me several days to quilt on my DSM. I do basic straight line quilting.(I enjoy shadowing the seams best.) Sometimes zig zags. (small quilts only) I find that I have to break it up in several lines at a time. Sometimes it's a struggle to manipulate a large quilt. Queen size is the largest I will quilt. I prefer Double quilts and smaller. (But, my bed is a queen size. So every now and then I need to quilt a queen.)
