I am only stitching in the ditch with my running foot on this one, because Its too large to free motion quilt. Was wondering if anyone has tackled this here?
Mine largest was 120x120 and I cussed most of the time as I, too, simply stitched in the ditch. Way too much fabric to move through the gap between the needle and the rest of the machine, no matter how I gathered it. I am proud of having finished it. Won't do it again, though, and can't think of any suggestions for you - sorry.
