It is not a long arm, but a short arm, I think. It is a Little Gracie frame with a Juki TLQ 98. I have 54" between my chair and the quilt frame (I went down and measured). The chair no longer has wheels, but I didn't have any trouble with bumping into the frame when it did have wheels. The pad you are referring to that is under my chair is a piece of particle board that my husband custom cut just for that purpose. DH is very clever when it comes to solving my sewing room issues.

What is the pad underneath your chair? I have the same issue of rolling away from my machine. Drives me nuts. Sorry for all the questions.
