I believe that you will feel better immediately! I have owned a huge longarm, a midarm and then a small system, similar to yours, and they were all a LOT of work, and yes, took up a huge amount of space. Now I just have a couple of sewing machines encased in their custom tables, with the table height that suits me perfectly! Have fun, enjoy your quilting and let me know how it works out for you :) Wow. I believe that you will feel better immediately!

So this is for all of you quilters that think you really want a machine quilting frame...rule out the expense they are time consuming, space consuming, and unless you have alot of money to spend on stitch regulators, computerized bells and whistles in my opinion it's not worth it, all of the prep and time you have to spend before you ever get to the actual quilting part and not being able to see your pattern and the quilt on a whole it's just not worth the expense.
