    96 X 104 is the largest I've done so far without sandwiching and quilting in sections. That was on my Babylock with an 8" throat. Working in the very center of the quilt is tight but manageable and I do a lot of FMQ and meandering designs. I always use Warm & Natural or similar batting and that does make a difference. I'm really looking forward to quilting on my new Dreamweaver with the 11" throat. I've got one top ready to go that is 104 X 104. SOMEDAY I would love to own an HQ Sweet 16, but currently have no place for one.

    I feel the same way, sending a quilt out to be quilted is not my quilt. I have done all of mine myself. It can be a challenge for me. I have done some on by Baby Lock narrow throat, then bought a Janome with wider throat, much easier. Not sorry I spent the money for the Janome.

    Mine was just a small crib size and a quilted diaper stacker. They turned out great and did it on my Singer dsm.

    I have quilted a king size roughly 110 x 110. It was a pieced basket block with sashing, and it was the first or second quilt that I machine quilted - all SID. I definitely learned a lot while I quilted it.

    I stitched the ditch(sort of) on a Queen size quilt on my humble Kenmore with a 7 1/2" throat. This was a quilt made for a basset hound rescue auction before I really knew anything about quilting. A friend had some blocks already cut and she asked if I could put a quilt together. In my ignorant bliss I said I guessed I could. Knowing what I know now I probably wouldn't have attempted quilting it on that machine. I did get it done-even made matching shams. It was won by a friend who uses it her spare bedroom. I cross my fingers every day that she never has to wash it...LOL.

    A 120x120. Once you have it basted it is not too bad just take lots of breaks. Glad it is quilting up nicely for you.

    About 120 x 120, and I did it on the dining table of our fifth wheel trailer! That was also the first quilt I ever machine quilted. It's not so hard to do things when no one is around to tell you why you can't!

    120 x120. It wasn't easy, but LA is not in my budget.

    King 120 X120 and you should have seen my sewing room. I had everything in there around my sewing table to help support that heavy bugger. Ironing board, TV trays, my small table, etc. Wasn't too bad after I got the weight off my shoulders
