you need MORE space for a decent frame. UNLESS you want to keep it simple and not do KING size or larger quilts..some prefer not to tackle them this big as they are heavy and harder to load!

remember it must be climate controlled just like the house...

If you are going to have a long arm in there, you need to allow room to move around it.

You might look into a larger shed, at least a 12 x ?. Where I live there are some rent-to-own places. They have buildings you can view to get a better idea of the correct size. I have two a 12 x 20 and 12 x 30. The 12 x 30 would provide room for a LA and lots of storage space. When I purchased my 12 x 20, I had originally ordered a 10 x 16, but decided to upgrade to the 12 x 20 and am very happy I did.

I have a new joy frame, but have never gotten it to work properly. I may give up and sell it.

well, 14x60=840 sq ft max. so your new space will only be 1/4 of your current space. i can't even imagine doing that. 10x16 shed is only another 160 sq ft, so a total of 1000 sq ft, 1/3 of your current space. where your mobile home is located, is there a restriction on the size of the shed?-just a thought. All I can say to you is Good Luck!

I put my 10' frame in my 12 X 16 porch. Barely fits. Remember, you need to get around it to the back, and have access to the sides, especially if you have to raise the take up roller.

We will be selling and or relocating alot of our furniture. Sorting out alot..... My main thought is the shed will give me one central location for organized stash. It is currently spread out all over the house. We need to start clearing stuff out so we can list our home maybe in early spring. Going to be a big job.

I wonder is replacing windows with skylights would help with available wall space.

We have a 12x24 and most of it is taken up with our longarm. My fabric is all in the house in my sewing room.

You can't have too much room is my motto! Get the largest building you can afford!
