I have a Bernina frame which I have set up full size (120") but it will break down to 60". I have been using my Bernina 440QE to quilt. The quilt area is very small and so I mostly use meander type quilting. I recently got a Bernina 710, which has a 10" throat. With a quilt rolled up on the rail, I will have approx. 6" of quilting space - which is 1/2 of a 12" block. If I plan my quilting design out properly will be able to do 1/2 of each block, roll the quilt and finish the other half. Until I get good at it I am using grooved boards to guide my quilting. So, a domestic or mid-arm are doable. I'd love to have a full size long arm with a computer drive program, but that is not going to happen unless I win the lottery!!!
