I have made a small baby quilt in the past that I only machine quilted by doing the stitch in the ditch with clear thread so all mistakes would not be pronounced, and it was difficult at best, trying to roll it up and maneuver it etc. I was wondering what the largest size quilt any of you have done on your machine? THere are probably tips and tricks I haven't learned yet that would make it easier or not? Or do you just opt to hand quilt or have it LA quilted etc?

I have done a oversized twin and I did a queen once but the owner made it in two halves and joinged them after quilting. Looked very pretty

Have done a queen and it was difficult (to say the least) but got it done!

Probably the largest I've done so far is 60x80 or so. I am going to try quilting in sections on the next quilt.

I find it easier to handle if I don't roll the quilt...I just fan fold or scrunch it up.

I did an over sized king on my DSM. It wasn't easy but by golly I did it and it came out pretty good.

Looking forward to hearing what others have to say on this. I'm relatively new to machine quilting and need all the tips that I can get. I have done a crib size quilt, but it was just straight stiching along the blocks.

Never done bigger than a regular size.

Twin size...most of the ones I do are a bit smaller 50x60. I find that supporting the weight of the quilt on my ironing board really helps. I just place the ironing board perpendicular to the left side of my machine. That way gravity doesn't pull the whole thing away as I am trying to sew.

I did a king with a Lily. Never again
