I'm considering buying a used Husqvarna Mega Quilter, specifically for quilting (!) The harp space is 9" by 6", compared to my usual machine's 8" by 4.5". I'm not sure whether this makes a big enough difference in terms of squashing a large quilt into it. The relative areas are 36 sq in and 54 sq in, which does sound like quite a big difference.
Does anyone have any experience of one of these, and do you think that is enough space to justify getting a machine that would really only have the one function for me? I gather that it is a heavy duty machine, does only a straight stitch, forward and reverse, and comes with a free motion foot and an extension table.
Any opinions or advice welcome!
