I just got a George Sit down machine by APQS, and it has a throat of 22"...I love it, I have quilted for a small quilt and fabric shop, all the quilts that she had coming in...she had a 18" gammill...14 foot frame....now she has sold her shop and machine, so I had to find something that I could have room for...to do my quilts on...it's quite different, moving the fabric instead of moving the machine....but I'm learning and really do love having something now for myself...
