If your frame is like mine, you can add different lengths of bars for the frame. I bought mine used and it came with 10 foot bars. It didn't fit in my room, so I put the 6 foot bars on the frame and then it fit okay. If I remember correctly, there are three sizes, I just don't remember if the other size is 8 foot or 12 foot. Mine is the wood frame.
With the 6 foot frame, I can't quilt the large quilts, but it works great for the smaller ones. You might look into the frame choices of the model your are buying.

I am mostly going to be quilting for myself so I couldn't justify spending a lot more money for a long arm--as long as it works sufficient--I figured I might as well get the one with the best deal--which was the Tin Lizzie. Good luck with your decision. I did go to a big Quilt show last fall and looked at and tried many of the brands. I would recommend you do that if you have time to wait.[/quote
What is the size of your setup? How much space do you need at either end of the frame.? Now that I've narrowed it down to a Tin lizzie LS, I'm not sure my room will be big enough!

I have the metal frame and it is set up for 12 ft. length. It can also be changed to 8 ft. length.
