Whats the largest king quilt
#21
The largest I did was 104" x 104" with small free motion motifs in small blocks and then around the larger block borders. I did longer free motion cables in the borders all on an older Elna with a 6 1/2 " harp. Just be sure to breathe while you stitch. Good luck with whatever you decide.

I quilted all large quilts in sections, until I ran into one that couldn't be done in sections. It was 93 x 104. I used the John Flynn frame (for the first and only time) to baste it with water soluble thread, then I was able to quilt it (fairly dense FMQ) on my Bernina. After that I got a longarm. I never want to tackle something that large on my DSM again. I know that many people are able to do beautiful quilting that way, and I admire their skill.
Have you considered quilting your quilt in sections?

I'm making a king storm at sea, and right now it is 105x105. If I add an additional pieced border it will be 114x114. I really want to add this border, because I'm thinking after machine quilting if I leave it at 105 the stitching will make it shrink up too much.
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?

I have made a few 120 x 120 quilts for king size beds (or for a queen to hang all the way to the floor). 120" is the widest I can quilt on my 12 foot long arm frame, but I could make it longer too like 130" to go to the foot of the bed.

I don't know how you can move that much quilt trough a regular sewing machine. I did one for a friend that was bigger than I have felt comfortable with but it did turn out
fine, I haven been able to start another project because
it was so stressful.(That was in Feb) I have only been quilting for a couple of years and I like doing throws and kids quilts I have alot more to learn
