Just the sewing machine. I have a cousin that has a long arm. I send them to her. Wish I had the money and the space to have one.

Same here, but hope to upgrade perhaps next year or get my Juki stretched.

I tried rolling it but that didn't work too well, so I now use a technique I saw on an online tutorial (might have been Leah Day) where they suggested "scrunch, scrunch, flatten". I'll try to find the tutorial again.

I just use my little "Brother" and although it gets a little tricky sometimes it works well.

Here's a link to the tutorial from Leah Day I was referring to on Free Motion Quilting. It's the second video down on the page. She really explains it well...

I bet I have one of those plates somewhere. Just never thought it would be possible to do it on my old Singer. Some of the quilts done here that are free motion...well, I have not seen professional quilts that look that good.

If the feed dogs don't drop, tape an index card over them. The fabric slides quite well over the card. I love old sewing machines, buy them at auctions, and of course they don't have the handbook with them. I'm not an expert at machine quilting, but I do enjoy it.
