Her post has a lot of great information if you have a long arm and have ever thought about quilting an irregular shaped item such as a table runner or tree skirt. It IS possible!
Back when I was designing the pattern, I made three different tree skirts but ended up just spray basting them and then quilting them on my Juki.

It worked fine, and since the tree skirts aren’t huge, it didn’t take too long.

But now I’d love to try quilting one on the long arm!
