I forgot to ask if there is a model that takes up less space than others. I know the machines are large and I have a room to devote to it (or will have after some rearranging) but it would be nice to have one that was not so awfully large. I am assuming that you buy the huge rolls of batting and maybe even backing. Is it a problem to quilt small things on them. (table runners,etc.) I have lots and lots of small things made that I need to get quilted. Maybe I could learn on those. Please keep posting any tips and tell me why you like your setup. I am soaking it all in!!
