Thanks ladies for all of you input.
My question is the amount of space between the needle and the back of the machine arm. Mine measures about 7 inches. How would you go about doing a design on a 10 or 12" block wherein it appears you can only do half of a design?
And, if you are working on a queen top, how much room space (sewing or diningroom) do you need (east and west in your room) to accommodate the long poles required for a 90" wide quilt. It seems to me you would need 90 or so inches in both directions when quilting on the right border and then the left border. Or do you just have to move your machine?
Thanks. Suzanne
