Space needed for 12' Table and Millennium

[Jbkendrick]

Can anyone tell me what the minimal space needed for the Millennium and 12' table. I am most concerned about depth. I cannot find any dimensions for the width of the 12" long table. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, John

if you plan to quilt from the back of the machine...and want that side against a wall...then better plan on at least 12 feet.

actually...i guess it really doesn't matter...i have mine set up with the front facing the wall...and still have 12 feet minimum.

i figured it this way...3' space + machine + 3' space (minumum)

the table is less than 4' wide...but with the machine pushed all the way to the rear...i figured about 6'.

i actually have a 17' deep room...and gives me plenty of space to quilt in.

did i confuse you?? or does this help?

You'll need about 9' by 15' for ease of movement around the table. One end can go up against a wall if necessary and a fabric advance will add another foot to the side. There have been many creative solutions to a tight space. Side-to-side can be extended by placing one end in a closet. For tight width some use a mechanics wheeled creeper to go under a frame that is tight against two walls.

Front to back solutions range from never using the back side (!) to putting the table on casters to move it out as needed to stitch pantos. Diagonal placement in a room has also allowed a machine where otherwise it would be impossible.

Good luck--great choice of machine!
