    Your a heroine to us, you know...if that's what you can do on your domestic, there's hope for a lot of us! I have done as large as a queen size on mine but really struggle with the middle sections of the quilt and find I don't quilt that area as much. Don't you have the problem of too much material scrunched up to be able to get it done? As I work out towards the borders, I have a much easier time manuvering. Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

    Beautiful quilt! I bet your son is very proud of it. The picture of you quilting it on your little machine reminds me of myself. I have a Singer sewing machine that I bought in 1978 or 79. It does a few zigzag stitches but nothing fancy. I piece my tops on this machine and also do the quilting. It still sews very well.

    Oh, my! I need to come take lessons from you. When are you available? You must be the most patient, persistent person in the world to keep pushing, shoving, pulling that huge quilt! I hope you son really appreciates it and you. I'm sure he will...
