I will bring home my new-to-me long arm in about 2 weeks. I am going to try and put into my sewing room. We have measured and planned and I think that I need about 6 feet of space to do the quilting, plus 14 feet for the frame to be set up and still have room to move around it. I have rearranged my machines and tables around these measusrements. (Just praying that it all fits!) It's exciting but scary at the same time. Good luck with your plans!
