Large Throat Sewing Machine
#1
![Default](/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I currently have a Janome with a 6-inch throat. I can quilt up to a twin size on it. I'm looking for a sewing machine with a large throat, preferable 12", but I don't know if that is possible. I don't have the money for a small or mid-arm quilting machine. It doesn't matter if the machine is electronic. I don't need lots of fancy stitches or computerized embroidery. Does anyone know about machines that meet my criterion? Thanks!

The first machine that I quilted a king size on was my brother was a 7 or 9 in. throat. Then I got a Janome 8200 with a 11". Have done many king quilts on it. With all of the quilts, I mark into 4 sections. Mark the center of the quilt, using larger safety pins, the center of each side, also with pins. Start quilting in the middle and quilting the bottom right section then turn the quilt a quarter turn and starting in the middle again quilting the bottom right section. Before you know it you have the quilt finished.
