quilting a small quilt without an extension table.
#1
I was wondering if it is possible to quilt a lap quilt without having an extension table attatched to your domestic sewing machine. Thank-you every-one for all your help in the past, and hopefully some-one can answer this for me.

It is. You will want to support the weight of the quilt so that it doesn't drag as you are stitching. You can use an ironing board to the left of your machine at the edge of your sewing table to help support it if you need to.

I have a plastic table that slips on to the sleeve arm of my Bernina. It isn't overly big but that is fine for doing smaller quilts. If you just have the sleeve arm it will be hard because you need at least enough space for your hands to rest on either side of the needle. If you have that much room, you should be fine.
