Thread: ? regarding the width of your Bernina frame

Hi everyone and thanks in advance for your responses. I am having my frame delivered in the next few days and now I'm thinking of setting it up in a different area, problem is that I don't have the measurement for the width. I purchased the 5 foot expandable to 10 feet so that isn't the issue because I have several places I can set it up, like I said since I am rethinking placement I would really appreciate the measurement for the width (in other words front to back ). I have been using 5 feet as a guesstimate but would rather know for sure. I don't want to call the dealer and bother him so of course decided to ask you all knowing I would get an answer.

I would call the dealer too. Have fun figuring out your new configuration.

remember that you need room on each side of the frame to comfortably move around, load the quilt, etc. it takes more room than you might think.

I agree that you should call the dealer. They get paid to answer questions. You could have also just looked on line.
Scroll down to see the frame dimensions on these 2 links.

You need at least 3 feet in front of the frame and if you are going to do pantos, you need 3' in back too. You probably want at least 2' in back to allow for the machine movement. You also need 3 feet on the side with the cranks.
