    Default What domestic sewing machine has the largest throat?

    I was just reading pocoellie's post "I want a new sewing machine" where someone said they wanted a machine with larger throat. That made me wonder what dms does have the largest throat. The Juki HZL-DX7 measures 8" long x 4.4".

    Harp on Juki TL2010Q is 9 inches long x 6 inches high: total of 54 square inches. Some machines have harp that is 11 inches long but only 4.5 inches high, which gives you total of 49.5 square inches. I really think you have to consider the length and the height of the harp.

    The juki's in general have the largest we measured. The other makes depends on the specific model.��

    i do know that the newer, introductory machines have a very small harp and i can't imagine trying to make some of the clothes i did on those machines.
