    Sounds great! I wish I had a wall space big enough.

    I'm too impatient to do all the pressing, though, and so far not pressing has not been a problem for me. I sandwich my quilts on a table but admit I have not done a queen or king size that way.....in fact, if I ever make a king size quilt, I'd hope to hire someone to do the sandwiching for me, never mind the quilting!

    I love your way, but when I do the larger 1quilts I have to climb a ladder to get to the top portion of the quilt to press against the design wall. Do you find yourself with this problem?

    Actually, I guess I'm reasonably tall (5'6"), with long arms, so I have never had a problem reaching the top of the 6 foot design wall. The 7 1/2 feet is the width, rather than the height. Obviously I haven't done a quilt larger than what fits on my design wall. I'm not much for doing queen or king size quilts. But it sure works for most of the quilts I do! I guess I never realized how fortunate I am to have a wall that large in my sewing room!!
