Susan, I quilted many large lap quilts to twin size on my Brother SQ9185. It has the regular size harp. I didn't roll the quilt through, I kinda shoved and spread it out as I went along. It was sort of hard in the beginning when starting in the middle of the quilt but got easier when getting to the sides. It is doable. But after about 2 years of doing this I decided to get a Juki with a 9" harp. So much easier on the shoulders and neck. Both SusieQOH and I got out Juki's at the same time and both are starting FMQ for the first time. Good luck and just remember to have fun and enjoy it. It can be done.
