I so most of my sewing on a Bernina 440 and I am happy with that machine. However I have been trying to do my own machine quilting as I can no longer afford to send it out to a commercial Long Armer and I have no room to put a large machine. I need a straight stitch, free motion machine with a harp area larger than 7 inches which is what I have now. What I am finding newer machines is that you would have to pay about a $1000 for a new machine with about a 9" harp but I don't need all the extra features as I have that now. I checked out the Baileys home quilt machine but it only does free motion. I have been looking at the Singer 201 (on e-bay) and it does seem to be in my price range but I cannot find what the size of the harp is. In giving dimensions sellers often do not include this measurement. Can someone tell me what the harp size is and/or recommend another machine for quilting.
