    I'm sorry. I should have explained in the beginning: the cotton knit fabric in question would be used in a church donation quilt and will be tied, not quilted. I didn't get a reply from anyone yet that has done it successfully so I probably will ditch the idea.

    I was going to say that I would tie it. I have worked with stretchy knits and quilted small quilts on my DSM but larger ones I tied.

    I am afraid you won't like the results if you tie it. Anywhere it isn't tied, the knit fabric will stretch and sag.....not even close to an ideal situation ;(
