I have the new Husqvarna Epic & with the needle in the middle position the opening measures 12 & 1/2 ". This machine is huge & for it's size, is the lightest machine of the premium ones on the market & it is still quite a handful
to lift. I have had it for 5 months now & love it (not the price though). I had the Bernina 820 & it has some wonderful features but we just did not click. Loved the bigger bobbin but it comes with a finicky temperament. The bobbin on the Epic is also larger (not finicky like the Bernina) but not as large as the Bernina. I do believe the Epic does have the largest throat of the DMS on the market, that I know of at least. I could be wrong.
