They have a commercial = =3D20 sewing machine-an old unit-but I think it has about a 3' nose on = it-=3D20 sent other people down there before the quilter opened up that needed = =3D20=3D large things resewn. The only other way it is going to be done is a heatseal logo-I"ve =3D20 done these before by heating in sections on my 16" platen and then =3D20 overlapping after everything is tacked down. Good luck-hope this helps.
