Hi Isabelle, I think that the BSR attachment only works with free motion quilting, since you wouldn't be using the feed dogs to move the fabric when free motion quilting. If you are doing ditch quilting with the feed dogs up, those would keep your stitch length to whatever you set it. Are you planning on free motion ditch quilting, or quilting with a regular presser foot and the feed dogs up?

I've free motion ditch quilted before but it is harder for me than doing it with the regular presser foot with feed dogs up. I use my open toe foot so I can see the ditch. Even though I am turning the quilt at times, it seems easier to me. When I did my Ruffled Roses quilt I did quilt some of the star blocks free motion but it was nerve wracking!

Quilting a really large quilt like yours is challenging because of the drag from all that weight.

I hope you will post some photos of your quilt when you are finished!

I am about to start quilting a large bed 108" By 108" quilt. I would like to use my BSR foot but use regular quilting in the ditch with a quilt stitch. As anyone tried this and is it possible? The basic quilt is sampler blocks 16'by16'. They are all different so I am not sure a free motion pattern will work since I am using a wool batting. Any suggestions. : :
