Re: How far from the wall
There is a sticker on the embroidery unit with the required distances of 10 inches on the left side and 13 inches from the back edge. If you can open the arm without hitting the wall you are good.

How far from the wall
Hi Jim, I'm not sure if this question has been asked before, but what distance from the wall does the Machine have to be so the Embroidery Hoop doesn't hit the wall when doing the larger embroidery's.

Not George but another Brit who also rates this thread, here is a link to the makers site, Fujix which though it has its international offices in Japan seems to have its threads spun in China.
