I have quilted a full size high loft quilt for my grandson on my Ellegante. All SID and echo. No problems except took lots of breaks and did not roll, but bunched under the 9" throat. I did it in sections dividing it into fourths starting at the middle going to the edge. I purchased a Babylock Jane that does single stitch and also has a 9" throat to use with a frame my son is designing (using the Flynn frame) so that the machine moves instead of the frame. Using the Flynn only because it is already bought and we are using the Flynn pieces to make our own frame. I too do not have room for a large frame and wishful thinking but cannot spend to get the HQ Sixteen. Yet.
