What constitutes a Mid Arm machine and how are they different from a domestic sewing machine?
|
Domestic usually have a 9" space between the column and the needle. Mid-arms usually have 11"-15", long arms start at about 18".
|
mid arm machines are larger than your regular domestic machine- with more throat space- giving you more room to quilt.
smaller than a long-arm--an (inbetween) |
Can you name some brands? I was wondering the same thing! Thanks for asking this question!
|
I'd say that APQS' Lenni would count as a midarm machine.
|
HQ 16 is another one.
|
This was educational for me. I thought mid arms started at 9". Learn something every day on this board!
|
Oh, I'd also say Bernina's 820, 830 etc. are midarms.

I think a mid arm is usually on a frame, although the sweet 16 by HandiQuilter is a sit down. My HQ 16 is a mid arm.
