No long arm have sent very large ones out or hand quilt.

Would love to have a quilting machine, but it isn't in the cards. Puddling works for me on my little machine, it is a hassle sometimes; but it works and that's what counts.

I have to say that I tried to roll mine up to quilt and found that bunching it worked a lot better for me, too.

all i have is a kenmore sewing machine and i have quilted king size quilts

What is puddle? Crunch I understand. Also to do a design in a square do you use the walking foot? I have never done anything but straight SID and tried doing a design in a 4" square and it was terrible had to take it out. Used a darning foot with feet dogs down. Can anyone help me?

I don't do my own quilting on the sewing machine, just can't bring myself to go there yet - all that fabric. I just send them out to be done, less headache for me.

I don't. Can't afford it.

The first real quilt I did was for a king-sized bed... (only practiced on one 2-sided pillow before that) Contrary to advice I was given, I made the quilt in 3 sections, and after everything was done except the binding I sewed them together. Looks great, wasn't too hard to handle.

I have a Brother HS2000 with not much of a throat, but I have done quite a few large-sized lap robes and baby quilts and soon will work on my over-sized Queen Log Cabin quilt waiting for attention. I guess I am puddling the quilts also.

I've done king sized on my domestic Bernina, and on an older Viking. Harp size is not as big a deal as having support all around to hold the weight of the quilt. That, and take lots of breaks.
