I feel encouraged! Thanks for all the responses. I will follow up when I am done.

All you need is good support for your quilt. Some have been doing that with suspenders. I have a piece of board that inserts between the drawer and my cutting table so the quilt is support to my left side. I easily quilted my avatar queen size with a 7" throat on my Bernina 1530. If you see some picture from the 80s, we were taught to roll up the quilt and throw it on our shoulder. That NEVER worked for me !!

I used Marti Michell's book for quilting in sections, until I came across a quilt that didn't have any straight lines running all the way through it. I quilted it on my DSM (93x104"), said never again, and promptly bought a longarm.

I free motion quilted a 72" square. It wasn't easy, but I was so in love with the variegated thread I was using, it took away some of the pain! Batting selection can greatly affect the ability to maneuver these beasts under the throat space, which is why I switched from Quilter's Dream select to Hobbs.

I FMQed in spiderwebs on my queen size Spiderweb quilt. Was it easy on my Bernina 440? No but it turned out quite nice.

I think the largest I have done was 110x110" but on a Janome 7700 which has a large throat!

I quilted a kingsize double wedding ring on my then designer D1. I stitched around all the arcs and embroideried in the centers. Used every table I could get my hands on. Turned out great.

I did a king....what was I thinking....never again it was so heavy to maneuver ......I had sore shoulders and wrists........came out swell but not again that size. I did it in a Designer 1........

You can do it! I did a jumbo queen on a Brother with a 4(ish) inch throat. I now have a Brother 1600 with a 9 inch throat. I can do anything on it. Give it a go!
