Love my longarm! One other consideration is the amount of space it takes up. You will need at least 3 feet in front, in back and along at least one side of the frame. The frame is about 3 1/2 feet wide, so you are looking at 9 by either 13 or 15 feet. I have my 10' frame in a 10' X 16' room and there's not a lot of additional space (although you can store tons of stuff underneath!)
