Personally, I wouldn't bother. In pictures they always show it with a very narrow quilt on the frame which makes it look so easy to use. Now picture trying to work with a great big king sized quilt on such a set up and I think you might be asking for a great lesson in frustration. If all you do are small quilts then it may work. I'm probably biased though since I have a long arm and frame but I did reject this frame initially for the reason I listed above. JMHO.
