Just curious but what do you consider a mid-arm - a Juki maybe? I ask because I was considering the Juki but have heard pros and cons regarding the space available for quilting larger quilts.
No, I don't consider a Juki a mid-arm. I set up my brother 1500 on a frame, only six inchs of quilting space, I upgraded to the HQ 16. JMHO
Everything I've read qualifies the Juki as mid-arm (as opposed to short-arm), but like you're saying...I'm wondering if there is enough quilting space. Just being on a frame would help me IMMENSELY, but why drop $1k when a year from now I'll want something bigger and better.
What would you consider "mid arm"? Is there something in between the Juki, and maybe the HQ16?
