I have had mine for about 3 years now and I love, love, love it!!!! also. The throat space is not much of a problem for lap throws, charity quilts, baby quilts, etc but I think it would be a bit cumbersome for anything larger than a twin size quilt. However, all of my charity quilts are 40 x 55 so I have no problem. I have found that it quilts much better using a size 11 needle.
