How much room is that, really?
The Janome Continental M7's claimed 13.5″ harp width is wider than 18 of the 30 machines with published widths in this database (median: 11.3″). Within its class — computerized domestic — the average published width is 10.2″.
Height matters as much as width when half a quilt is rolled in the harp: at 5.5″ of claimed vertical space, a rolled queen is workable with good basting and a pool-noodle roll.
Spec note: 13.5″ to the right of the needle × 5.5″ high; 17.81″ total work area — the largest published harp on any household flatbed machine.
