If there was a quilt shop in your area that rents out their machines that would be an option, I had a 10-foot table and there were times it was a real squeeze to get a big quilt on it. So, when I got my Lucey, I had them put on a 12-foot table figuring if I ever needed a bigger one, I would rent out time at the quilt shop on their biggest table one. I think you can add on the borders on, there will probably be a bit of handwork, find the technique first to see how much fabric you need to leave on when you do your trimming.
