Free Motion Quilting a large quilt:
The Set Up:
I put the ironing board in front of the sewing machine at the same height as the sewing machine and a tv tray on the left hand side. This is essential to keep the quilt from hanging over the side and back.
I quilted about 1/3 of the quilt this past weekend and hope to finish it in a week or so.

Looking good! One day I will be brave and try some free motion quilting.
Excellent! I've done straight line quiling on large quilts and FMQ on small ones. Am FINALLY getting better at it. Hope to expand to larger quilts in the future. You inspire me! :)
Debbie! This looks great! I hope I can be brave enough to try this one day. There is a new quilt store in my area that has long arm quilting machine demo's... I hope to see one of those in action soon.
Debbie, I love Love LOVE this quilt. The colors are great! Ya just gotta remember to have fun while you are quilting and doodle! It's going to finish great.
Good for you! it looks great too
I like your quilt a lot very pretty, good job on the quilting.
I love the squiggly lines on it. Very nice!
I have to go back and say I am totally impressed that you quilted this big quilt on your machine. I just finished Avery's quilt (45X 50 something) and it was a CHALLENGE for me to machine quilt! I don't think I can go any larger!
