Don't waste money on something that won't do what you want. If all you want is crib size and throws, a machine like this may be ok, but not for much else.

Have you used a Bailey? I have not completed a king on my Bailey 13, only queen (90" x 90") size with no problems and you may be correct about the throat size in regards to a king, I would not know, because I have not attempted to quilt a king first hand, however my frame will only accomodate a queen as well, just don't have the room for a frame that will accomodate a king size quilt. I did not 'waste' my money, I just don't see any reason to buy a mercedes when a chevy camaro looks better and gets the job done just as well.
