I also have this model. I needed way more room than I thought. First, if you are going to do pantographs, you will need to work from the back, so you'll need around 30" in back. (even if you don't do pantos, the machine head will extend beyond the back of the frame about 12") As Charming posted, the frame base is 44". You need to walk around the frame to get to the back, so 24" - 30" on one side. You need to be able to reach the other end as you roll the quilt so 12" on the other, and 3 feet in front. I would say 9 X13. Mine is in an odd shaped room, about 9 X 15 and it takes up most of the space. You will have LOTS of storage underneath, however!!!
