I also have a brother HS2000, I think the harp is 5 3/4". I just finished piecing and SID a queen size quilt with it. Oops! I also just purchased a white from the70's which I am currently researching to find out if I can fmq with it. Got it at local Goodwill for $30, it runs great! The harp is a tiny bit bigger at 7 1/2". Does anyone know, is the store lady right in that we are overworking our fw Brothers?
