The way I am redesigning the room, there will be an 'L' of 24 inch counter. See the 90 degree corner? The Pfaff will be centered on the smaller portion, the Juki on the longer section. There will be a lot of counter space to hold the weight of quilt being quilted.
I hadn't thought of the loss of the knee lift or east access to the wheel to lift the needle. I may have to rethink how I set the machine. I won't have the dh cut the drop for the machine until I try it both ways, I guess.
