Wow! I will give it a go.

I used my Janome 7700 to do all over feathers on a queen sized quilt. It was all a matter of weight management -- my Sew Ezi was pushed up against the dining room table and I put a folding table on my left. Throat space was not an issue and it was actually fairly pleasant to do.

I have a Viking Ruby and I am currently working on a 110 by 110 king size quilt.

I made a large King 120x120 for my daughter and quilted it on my vintage Kenmore. It took me a very very long time to do it.

I have done several Cal King sized quilts, 120 in. x 120 in., on a Janome 6500. I puddle the quilt and do sections at a time. Remember if you can quilt the center you can do the whole quilt. I spray baste the whole quilts and hand baste the edge all around.

i did a kingsized t-shirt quilt on my Janome 6600.
i won't claim it was easy, but it turned out well.

I did a king string quilt - maybe close to queen in width but was extra long per my mom's request (though I think it was a bit too long IMO) I swore never again. I used my walking foot and did semi- SID - I say semi because I didn't worry too much about it - then seems like I went diagonally but not 100% sure - think I did though because I did that on the one I did for myself a few years earlier. my sil has it now - thought it'd be good for them for camping because I used poly batting which is too hot for me and my mom wanted it lightweight because my dad would get cold but didnt like something heavy.

I'll do up to full size myself but if I want nice quilting or have a big quilt I pay my friend to longarm it

I FMQ'd a large king (120 x 120) on my 6600! You can totally do it! It really wasn't that bad at all. I didn't quilt in sections or "as you go", it was a standard/complete quilt sandwich that I just shoved under the needle.

I do the "puddle" method too. I have tables behind and to the left of my machine table, and my machine is set down into the table. All of that helps manage the quilt weight, but you can get by with your extension table and some creative use of things like ironing boards if you don't have a setup like that.

Grippy gloves help immensely, as well - I can't quilt without grippy gloves of some type.

I've done super sized queen quilts on my DSMs. ... lots of them. It's certainly doable. If I might offer a couple of suggestions??

- Make sure you have tables or something to support your quilt on the left side of your work and in the back. Supporting the quilt makes a world of difference. Keeping your quilt from 'hanging' anywhere will keep the quilt easier to move around.

- I recently purchased a 'supreme slider' that fits on the bed of my machine and is so smooth that the quilt glides so easily as I'm quilting. I don't know why I didn't buy one of these sooner.... well, I do know. They are pricey. But, now I'm thinking of getting a larger one that will cover even more space. I was amazed at the difference.

I bought teflon sheets designed to go into the bottom of ovens. They're double the size of a queen supreme slider and you get 2 for about $17 on Amazon (so that's like 4x the surface area for about 1/3rd the price). They are black and don't have sticky backs, but I used removable double-sided tape for mine and it's fantastic. I bought four of them so I have a HUGE slippy area around my machine now.

Here are the ones I bought. I think pretty much any teflon oven liner sheet would work though. http://www.amazon.com/LARGE-Teflon-O...s=teflon+sheet
