It's great to start, but if you really want to be making larger quilts, you might want to look at something with a bigger throat. As the quilt is rolled up, it cuts into the space you have to quilt. So you might start out with about 10 inches but as the quilt is rolled up, you keep losing your space and you could end up with about 2 inches of room to do your quilting on. We started with a nice long arm and moved up to one with a bigger throat. Just something to think about.
