I have been wanting a long arm and don't know what size of machine and frame.

The size of the quilt depends on the size of the frame you get - or at least the poles. If I had the room I could get 12 or 14' poles for my frame but my room is only 11' square and my frame is up against one wall - no pantographs in my future... if I actually start using my set up and end up wanting to do larger quilts I would have to figure something out lol...

Since Nolting just bought Hinterberg you would probably get one of those frames if you are buying a complete package deal there. I am pretty sure you can do the same with that frame - larger poles and all. My poles came from Lowes and were 10' long. You lose a few inches on each side of that so I can do a quilt up to about 9'6' roughly. If you get larger poles then your space is much increased ;)
