Your new home may dictate what you own due to size. I'm 70, and own a midarm l use on a queen frame. Most of my quilts are for charity, and they are seldom larger than " double", though l can do a quilt 84" wide on my frame. There are newer versions that come smaller, you can reposition and do a large quilt . My 15" Bailey has no bells / whistles, cost less than most domestic computorized machines these days, and can be used as a sitdown as well ( l've even taken it in the motorhome and used it at the dining table or at a resort's welcome center where there are foldup tables.) I used to hand quilt.At 65, l realized l'd better learn to quilt by machine, since my list of quilts to make was very ambitious, and there's only so many years where eyesight and body can do them. If you find you don't care for this, you can always sell. Quilters often upgrade, you may esily find a basic used one for a decent price.
