I am able to combine computer designs with free motion on the same quilt.
I have a 12' steel frame for my machine system which handles up to the king size quilts. I love it!
Check out their site as they also have refurbished machines from time to time.
And the customer service is WONDERFUL!

If you have the room, some systems also have a 14' table. There are days that I really appreciate that extra room. For quilts with a long vertical blocks, I will load the quilt sideways so that I can complete those blocks without advancing. Sometimes it's easier to turn a quilt to do the side borders.
If you're planning on doing this for a business, check to see what others in your area are using. If they are mostly short tables, you could end up picking up the larger quilts because you CAN. If you go with a shorter table, you may end up sending people away because you can't accommodate those quilts.
Quilts are getting bigger. Those really thick mattresses are what's driving the need for bigger quilts.

Thanks for all the replys.
I would get a 14 foot table probably.
Where do Longarm quilters get computer designs? I won't be doing any freehand to start with but maybe down the road.
Where do LA get all there supplies? Do you get them at a discount for buying in bulk?
