Size of longarm machine?
#1
I was wondering what size room you need to put a longarm machine in. How much room do you need around the longarm machine.
I would like to have one that would quilt a king size quilt.
Thank you :D

my frame is 14 ft.8" long and 5 ft wide I have Gammill classic plus-- my machine has a 26" throat you need at least two feet on one end and at least that much on both sides (Mine is in basement) Check different sites to see minimums especially if by batts on roll and try to maneuver under machine NEVER had quilt that filled frame could of easily gotten away with 12ft. and don't think would of wanted wider throat- my arms can't stretch any farther. hope this helps

Thank you so much everyone...
I guess that having a longarm will be a dream for me for now, as there is no place to put one that has that much room.
We have a old farm house and all the rooms are really on the small size. I was thinking I could take one of the bed rooms upstairs but they are all way to small.
Big house, 4 bedrooms up 1 down, just 2 old birds living here now, all the little birds flew away. LOL but they all come back from time to time with more little birds....
Thanks for your input on this... :-D I'll just have to dream..

I first had my frame setup in a small office at 10'. I only quilted from the front at that time so it was only 8" or so away from the back wall and flush up against the wall on the right with about 3' open area on the front & left sides.
In a perfect world, you would want 3' all the way around but I couldn't wait for perfect--LOL!
I have also had my frame set diagonally out from a corner when I moved it into a room that all ready had a bunch of stuff taking up space so even in a small room, setting it up diagonally will give you the needed space front & back if you plan to work on both sides of it. I still don't use the back side of mine often enough for it to be a concern for me even though I now have mine setup with room all around it.
