The same problem with this set up as with any small long arm quilt frame. The harp of the machine limits how much real space you really have for quilting. Every time you roll the quilt the space gets smaller. Pretty soon you only have 3-5 inches of quilting space. I was sold on a small frame and when I first used it realized the limitations. I wished the guy had the set still in his shop. If you plan on only doing wall hangings or small quilts, this set up might be duoable.
