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.
