How much room do I need for a Handi Quilter Moxie & 8ft LOFT Frame?

**Order this setup (aff link): amzn.to/3JYdsAn
This is a game changer longarm quilting setup in the market right now. It includes a 15" Moxie longarm machine and the 8ft Loft Frame. It packs a punch in a small footprint! But exactly how small?! Many of you have asked me to share the dimensions of how much room my LOFT frame and machine take up in my sewing room. So, in this video I share just that!
•• To buy a Moxie you can order online directly from Handi Quilter here: amzn.to/3n259pI
•• Handi Quilter suggests you carve out more room for this Moxie setup. So, for the official space recommendations click here: craftygemini.com/wp-content/u...
•• My setup really squeezes out the most minimal space needed so hopefully this helps you make your decision and to figure out whether or not you can fit it into your space.
Let me know in the comments what types of longarm quilting videos you'd like to see me make featuring the Moxie!

Seriously! You think of EVERYTHING... including "remember to check the door frame". That would be me... that has been me and things don't fit. Lucky my hubby has a laugh with me while trying to sort out my "oops" moments. :D

Perfect video! Just what I was looking for to plan for this size table in my room :)

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Great tip. Thanks.

THANK YOU so much!! A realistic, common sense answer! Love your videos!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

You are so welcome!

[@verafernandes4913]

Thank you! I was listening to you on episode 56 of the Quilt & tell, thanks for the recommendation, im going for a test drive.

[@connierivers1144]

Thanks so much for this….I’m waiting for my machine to arrive next week…your videos have been so helpful. 🤗🥰

[@marygodbout1385]

Thank you! 🙂

[@lavonnethompson117]

I’m waiting for mine to be delivered! Very anxious! You’re video as a great help! I can’t wait! Hello from quilter wannabe from Iowa!

[@gloriajohnson3161]

HIghly recommend spending the extra $75 to get the casters for the legs. Makes it so easy to move the frame in case you do need to get to the back for any reason. Appreciate your Moxie videos....helped me make the decision to get mine....love it.

[@connierivers1144]

@Gloria Johnson…question: I just got my Moxie last Friday but the casters are backordered. Should I wait to assemble machine when casters arrive OR can I assemble now and then put casters on later?

[@LindaHuongDillon]

Just curious, I’m only 5’1”, do you think that’ll make it too tall, or does it adjust way low? Thanks.

[@diannasliker2692]

Very helpful. I'm looking at a Moxie with the 8 foot frame. Question...after having your Moxie for 2 years do you still love it?

[@nerdmom_quilts]

Great video! Do you have any opinion on Movie vs Simply 16? It seems like Handiquilter is promoting Moxie a lot more.

[@ruthk8036]

The only thing you didn’t cover was (for the vertically challenged) can you reach the on/off switch from the front. I’m 4’10” and no way can I reach the back💕

[@LindaHuongDillon]

Hi Ruth, did you ever find out the answer? Thanks.

[@susydan]

What is the height as I may have to put one under my staircase.where there is obviously a slope above. Thanks

[@lauriefox-coursolle]

Hi, Do you know if you can quilt a queen size quilt on the 5 foot frame? Thanks, Laurie

[@ShelleyCook]

Watt are the dimensions underneath the machine? Distance between legs, depth, min and max height? Looking to figure out storage solutions under the frame.

[@doreenbiggs6703]

Can I get a smaller frame for the moxie like a 5 ft frame

[@davidpeterson9374]

Hi, we are hoping you can help us. My wife is looking at buying a long arm. I am in Toronto Canada. The two options are Moxie on 8ft frame with pro-stitcher lite or Simply Sixteen on 8ft with pro-stitcher lite. The difference in price here is $2400 CDN. In addition to her own quilting, she want to be able to offer quilting services using the pro-stitcher for say 1 to 2 quilts per week. She don't have the ability to test the Moxie or pro-stitcher lite but she has tested the simply sixteen. our question is should we spend the additional $2400 on simply sixteen or Moxie will be enough. Will we miss anything by going with the Moxie over Simply sixteen?

[@marysanderlin1516]

Love your white trash bin/caddy on the side of the frame....where did you find that, it’s perfect!

[@TheCraftyGemini]

IKEA. :)

[@dianechadwick1381]

Vanessa, great informative video! What is the name of your tutorial please to watch to the black & white quilt having above on the wall behind the moxie? Couldn't find it in your videos.

[@TheCraftyGemini]

It's the first video on this page: craftygemini.com/10inchslicer/ It's made with my specialty ruler: The 10" Slicer.

Was it hard to set up the frame. I was told that it is? I am getting a Juki. I know nothing can I use your set up with a juki? TIA

[@susandunn3028]

I have a Galant and am considering trading it in for a Moxie Handi Quilter. Will the Moxie fit on my Villa 8ft frame? Thank you.

[@traceyianmcwhinnie3013]

Perfect. I had to check I had the space. NOW I just have to convince hubby its OK that I spend that much .... but at least I know it will fit. BTW the link to Handiquilter suggested space is broken.

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Thanks for the heads up. I updated that link. Fingers crossed for ya'!

If I quilt from the back how much additional space do I need for the table that holds the pantograph?

[@TheCraftyGemini]

The table that holds the pantograph is already built into the frame. So, the additional space you would need would be based on how much room you need to comfortably stand behind the frame and move side to side as you quilt.

[@QuiltsAndBeyond]

Vanessa this video is very helpful thank you girl ,💕 I have a question regarding storage cabinets. I have seen longarmers putting storage cabinets under the frame. Is it possible here?

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Yes you can! You would need to take measurements to make sure the ones you buy/make will fit but there is plenty of room underneath. I store large plastic storage bins under mine with different supplies.

[@deniseguidry3763]

How big of a quilt can you longarm on the 8’ frame?

[@TheCraftyGemini]

Up to 84" wide.

[@deniseguidry3763]
