I am considering the purchase of a 48 inch Eeva CM 8/10 loom. I've emptied my small studio room to the walls, and wondered what any users of this size loom might describe as the minimum perimeter floor space needed for the dimensions given in the catalog description of 62" wide x 54" deep, plus bench. It would be helpful to know where space can be limited, such as the crank side, given the worm gear is operated from the front. I've taped yardsticks together to lay out the dimensions for fit.
Also, what have users considered to be the most important options or accessories? I want to weave rugs and linen.
Thanks!
Eileen
