If I spray baste I can shove a full quilt into my 6.25" throat into the sewing machine and have it quilted in two days. You CAN do it. :) (Bigger takes three days), I used a quarter inch foot on because that's the only foot that words with my quilting guide.

I have to agree with giving the top now and quilting at a later date. That is what I had to do with each of my son's (graduation) quilts because I did not meet graduation deadline. Everyone "oooooh-ed and ahhhh-ed" anyway when they opened the wrapped quilt top! The quilts were ready by the time they left for college in September! Good luck with this!

I started quilting it with the feed dogs down and the presser foot tension at 0. So far so good except I ran out of thread so I will have to finish it tomorrow. The spray baste is a dream product! I will say it's not as good as if my quilter were doing it but it is turning out just fine. Thanks to everyone for your advice. I will post pictures when I'm done.

Well I got the quilt completely finished last night and gave it to my DH's grandmother today.....all without one single photo. :shock: :roll: Next time I go to see grandma I will bring the stinking camera!
