I have two large frames the one I set up in the basement , it took up a lot of space and I just couldn't get the hang of it I couldn't quilt in both directions so stuffed that one back in the box the other is an oval about 3 feel long and sat in front of my chair, it angeled but again I don't quilt in both directions so gave up on that, I went back to the hoop in my lap and that is what works best for me. I have to be able to turn my work often. If you can try one first that is what I would do. I was lucky, my mom had the big one and an aunt bought the smaller one for a couple bucks at a resale shop.
