I know some Vikings and Bernina's have the ability to auto raise the pressure foot between stitches while leaving the needle in the fabric so you can gently turn the piece as you go around. My Bernina's also have a knee lift where I can raise and lower the pressure foot with my knee as I do curves and corners. I think you would have to do this on the blocks not the when the whole quilt is put together. Yikes, I might think I would do a table runner instead of a whole quilt.
