I love the gradient on the quilt top. I only have a 5foot long arm, so you can imagine, it doesn't hold too much! however, I still use it to quilt larger quilts. I just load half of it and let the other side bunch up. after quilting that, I reload it with lining the other side up on the longarm. It is not super professional and you risk not being squared up, but if you are flexible, maybe your longarmer will adjust like that for you.
