I am quilting a queen size quilt and I set up two card tables behind the couch to help support the quilt. I use an oval hoop which allows a slightly large area for quilting. Mostly the quilt rest on only one card table. I need the second only when marking an area. This quilt was finished before marking and started by someone else. I am just finishing the 4 borders with a clam shell pattern. and it does take awhile.
