I have never had one LA'd. I do it on my Singer. From needle to inner edge of machine is 7", and from plate base to top is 6". I roll tightly, and do STID, echo, meandering and cross hatching. I've done up to queen size. Out of curiosity, what is the "average" price of having a quilt done? It's been ages since I checked, and at the time it was too costly!
