when i lived in minnesota, i had a largish master bedroom. since my sleeping stuff only took up about half of the room, i was able to put my hinterberg stretch frame up at the window end of the room. the hinty allows you to set it up at any length you want because you buy your own poles from home depot, etc. i was able to have the frame at 9.5 ft. and was able to quilt queen sized quilts on it.
