I quilt all of my quilts on my Bernina machine which has a 7.5 ich harp. The key is to ditch stitch around every block or major element if you do not have blocks. Then, you never have more than half of the quilt scrunched (not rolled) under the harp and you are only working to quilt one small area at a time. I have done lots of queen sized quilts this way. I recently went to another workshop with my guilt and there were 3 longarmers there. The class was for using regular machines. When asked why they were there all three said they wanted more personal control and no computer generated patterns. That told me something important.....
