Well, this is timely. I happen to have a new to me inspira frame sitting in my living room as I type this. I've been wanting a frame/machine set up and found a deal on Craigslist. I just brought it home Monday. I don't do big quilts any more, to hard on the shoulders and arms, and my family has all the quilts they can handle, so I only do twin and smaller works. The frame is currently a 10 foot set up. But I'm in the process of converting it to a 5 foot frame, once converted it will join me in my studio. I've had to order the crib length tracks from Grace. Just waiting for them to come in the mail. I will store the extra pieces in case I do decide to change it back, but honestly I don't see that happening anytime soon. I realize this decision limits my size of FMQ space, but I'm ok with that. I figure I can FMQ a center area of a twin size quilt, then attach the border using the QAYG method, and attach the back like you normally would when doing a QAYG quilt. And my other smaller projects will fit on a 5 foot frame. My suggestion is, this is your hobby and you need to be comfortable with your set up. My twin size quilts will be far and few between and if your larger quilts will be far and few between, there are options for those ( home sewing machine, professional long armer, QAYG) without a 10 foot set up taking up the space daily.
