Now you did it! I am mad at myself just because of your great accomplishment! I left 3 large quilts home in the USA to be long-armed because I was so sure I couldn't do it myself on my home machine. Now I want them back and to try to do it. Thanks for the tip and I will make a big one and try to quilt it here. Going to cancel the long arming and do it when I get there next year.

I dunno. Around here $90 would be really inexpensive for a king size quilt. Glad you got yours finished,

To get a king sized quilt quilted for $90 would be a steal in my vicinty! The prices here run into hundreds of $$$$.

If you can get a king sized quilt quilted for $90 it would be a steal in my area. The costs here runs into hundreds of $$$$.

Wow FMG a king on regular machine! I just did my first king this past summer and I cannot imagine quilting it myself.

OMG! $90 is cheap for a king sized. I just paid $175 (which is still cheap, by the way) and it was worth every dime. I just can't wrestle those big quilts.
