The Singer 15 is rather short needle to pillar, so when you get the quilt loaded, you are going to find that you have very little room to move forward and backwards. An extra inch or two is a HUGE difference, way more than people think it will be.
I didn't know that. I think the best I can do is only 8 inches for now. I'll need to keep my eyes open for a suitable machine with a deeper throat space.
