I tried rolling it but that didn't work too well, so I now use a technique I saw on an online tutorial (might have been Leah Day) where they suggested "scrunch, scrunch, flatten". I'll try to find the tutorial again.

I just use my little "Brother" and although it gets a little tricky sometimes it works well.

No long arm for me, wouldn't have room for it if I could afford it.

It scrunch it very tight and begin at the center. It can only get easier from there.

you don't have to be able to drop you feed dogs, you need a darning plate and foot for your machine and you should be able to do it. I have a cheap brother machine and although I can not lower the feed dogs I do have a darning plate, and a free motion foot and I have quilted a few quilts on it using free motion!

Domestic for me, I just got a short arm machine, but have not really used it yet. I do not send out any for quilting.

No long arm. Just wishing....
Do mine on my regular machine. Don't do very large ones, nor as fancy of stitching as I'd like and as I'd be able to if I did have a long arm.... so those will wait to be done.
