Our LQS has that set-up and we use it to do our Community Quilts. It works well but doesn't have a lot of space before you have to roll again. By the time you get to the bottom, you only have about 4 inches as the rest is taken up by the rolled quilt. The machine does have a slightly different way of threading and the bobbin doesn't hold as much thread as I'd like. It takes us about 6 bobbins to finish a full/queen quilt with an all over meander pattern. We'd like more space but the set up does work if you can put up with the limitations.
