My 14 year old machine has a 7" harp. I have quilted a king size quilt on it by cutting the batting into 3 sections. I try to quilt all of my twin and smaller quilts on it. I am still learning FMQ; but I am great at doing my SITD with my free motion foot. Although I would love a 12" harp, I am doing fine with my little machine. Now, if I draw in the patterns, I do a good job of FMQ. My goal this year is to learn to do FMQ without having to follow lines. Practice on your machine. I am sure it will work well for you.
