How much room is that, really?
The Handi Quilter Capri's claimed 18″ harp width is wider than 24 of the 30 machines with published widths in this database (median: 11.3″). Within its class — sit-down longarm — the average published width is 17″.
Height matters as much as width when half a quilt is rolled in the harp: at 8″ of claimed vertical space, there is genuine room for a rolled king-size bulk.
Spec note: 18″ throat × 8″ vertical space.
