wannaquilt1

I would like to make a quilt for my king size bed and it doesn't look like i"m going to be able to get a new sewing machine for a while. I only have 4.5" throatspace on my machine so I was thinking of doing the Fun and Done meathod for this bedquilt. Her patterns only go up to size twin... for a king would I just make the twin 2 times as big? I heard the king is the size of 2 twins..... help :)

Most kings are longer than twins. A twin mattress is 39" x 75, a king is 78" x 80" (Cal kings are bigger). I don't know what size her twins are, but you would need to make it longer for sure as well as double the width.

I think a king is the same as 2 long twins (same as in dorm rooms etc)

I think though you could apply the technique to any size you need.

I'm curious. What machine has a 4.5" throat space?

you can make the fun and done in any size, it is just a technique.

sorry i was off... it's 5" it's a brother cs-6000 and i love the machine but it's hard to quilt on.

It's the size of two twins. Go to the fun and done website. Look under FAQ and they tell you how to do it. I am making one right now!!!

Be sure and use a shorter stitch when you put the blocks togather as the extra weight will pull the seams apart.
I learned this the hard way and did not even make a king size.
