NanaFuller Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 can you easily quilt a king size quilt? I can fit a 10 or 12 ft frame in my studio, but would prefer the 10 if you can't quilt a king easily. Thanks for the help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 The widest I can load on my 12' frame is 118". This leaves only enough room to park the machine partially on the quilt top. You will need at least a 12' frame if you want to do king size quilts. You probably will never regret getting a longer frame, but you will regret the 10' if you have to turn away customers.

delld Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 My table is 14' and I love it. I was advised to get the largest I could. I'm very lucky that my studio is 14' by 39'! So go for the 12' table you will never regret it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda S Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 Go for the 12'. I have a 14' table and I've had many quilts that have taxed the entire limit. I've never regretted the larger table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracy G Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 get a 12' frame.......if you get any toys like a quiltazoid you will need that extra 2'....I wish I had had the room for a 12 ' table... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anette D. Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 I also have a 14' and I love it. I don't have to worry about running out of room OR into something that is on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoAnnHoffman Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 12 foot table will do a king size comforter and under. I have 126 inches of pinning canvas on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBQLTN2 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Share Posted March 22, 2012 10 ft is definately too small if you want a kings size quilt done on it. I have pushed my 10 ft frame to 106 wide, and I mean that was really pushing it. the leaders on a 10 ft frame are 108 inches so I only had one inch on each end barely enough room to even park the head. 12 foot at least would be my suggestion to you.

susanramey Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 If you feel that you don't want to go with the 12 foot table, go for 11 ft instead. I wouldn't go 10 ft though. I have a 10 1/2 foot table and can barely do 108 in top. Wish I could accommodate 11 feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quilting Heidi Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I have a 14 ft and have never reqretted it. I had it maxed out on the last top I quilted. I would say you should buy the biggest you can fit in your room and you will never regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aktbone Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Go for the 12". You will not regret it. I have the 12" and only wished I had room for the 14". Oh well, not rebuilding for the quilt machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connieb Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 I agree with all the above. Go for the 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
