Quilt Too Big for Frame....
My quilt top is 87". My frame can accommodate 90". Obviously, that's not going to give the extra 4" I need on either side.
I've been racking my brain on how to do this and watching a couple of videos that make it look virtually impossible (and made me sea sick to watch...).
Tell me where the hole in my theory is:
Why can't I leave say 3" of batting and backing on either side and fold it over the last 3" of the sides of the quilt, so I'm treating those 3" like the extra 3 you normally leave.. (I would float the batting and top.) Then, I would quilt whatever I could of the middle, remove the quilt and finish the sides on my domestic. The side clamps would still go on and I wouldn't have to fit the bigger rolls under my machine arm. The only drawback I see might be that the tension of the middle of the quilt top may be effected by the extra layer being rolled up on the outsides, but I do still have the side clips...
Thoughts?
