Country Loft wants to make it easier for you to decide how much room you will need for your Longarm Quilting System.

The following considerations must be taken into account for room size:
1). How much space is available in your home?
2.) Which size table will meet your sewing needs?
3.) What is the operational requirement needed to comfortably run your machine.

To comfortably operate you must allow a minimum of 2 feet around the entire sewing machine. This allows the head of the machine to move freely throughout the quilting space and access to all sides of the table. See Figure 1 & 2 for measurements needed to house your longarm machine.

The longarm quiliting table has a so called “dead end” and a “live end”. The dead end of the table has no action and can be placed a few inches from the wall if needed. The live end of the table has the roller bars necessary for advancing the quilt top. The 2’ minimum is needed at this end to assist with advancing the quilt and accessing the back of the machine.
