About, affiliate disclosure & contact

What this site is

HarpSpaceFinder is a small, independent reference database of sewing-machine harp (throat) space and related quilting specs. The editorial policy is one sentence long: every number has a source link, and missing numbers stay missing — we write “not published” instead of guessing, and the “community-measured” column only accepts measurements documented with a photo.

Affiliate disclosure (FTC)

Some outbound links to retailers (such as Amazon or SewingMachinesPlus) are or may become affiliate links: if you click one and buy something, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. As an Amazon Associate, this site earns from qualifying purchases once enrolled.

What affiliate links never affect here:

• Which machines are listed. The database includes dealer-only brands we earn nothing from.
• The numbers. Specs come from linked sources, not from whoever pays better.
• Rankings. Sort orders are mechanical (by dimension, speed, or price band); picker results are a published, deterministic scoring of the same data.

Affiliate relationships are limited to a maximum of two retailer buttons per machine, always marked rel="sponsored".

Contact & submit a measurement

Corrections, source disputes, and community harp measurements are welcome: [email protected].

For a measurement to enter the database we need: machine model, width and height in inches (or mm), how you measured (needle-to-pillar?), and a photo of the ruler/tape in place. We credit contributors by first name unless you ask otherwise.
