I drove to NY state for my summer vacation. My DD has been patiently waiting for her wedding gift for 2 1/2 years :) I'd never made a king before and doubt that I ever will again. Compared to the wonderful work I see here, my quilting needs improvement. It is fraught with errors at every step. However, she loved the quilt and that's what counts. I quilted it on my Hinterberg frame which is only 9.5 ft long and my 9" Juki. I had to turn it 3 times to reach all of the areas.

That is so awesome. I too have a Juki 2010 and just got a mini pini frame. I agree the throat isn't very big but I love it much more than all the quilts I FMQ on my regular machine. It rocks. I am glad they like the quilt

That is very nice quilt and your daughter looks very happy to have it.
I don't know how your frame looks but I use the table part to trim my quilts. I remove the take up rail and then line up two cutting mats on the table. I start at one end and slide the mats underneath working my way to the other end. It saves my knees from the floor.
