Crown Jewel with the Pearl Frame/ along with the Quilt Motion
I have an opportunity to purchase the Crown Jewel with the Pearl frame along with the Quilt Motion for the price of $9,000.00 for the Crown Jewel with the Pearl Frame and a price of $3600.00 for the Quilt Motion which brings it to the total of $12,600.00 for the two. I am wondering if this is a good deal. I have never did a full quilt on one of these machines so would appreciate the input from the ones that do have the experience with this. Thanks very much.

What size throat does the Crown Jewel have, assuming that is the machine you will use for quilting?
Being a Bailey owner and knowing they make, 13" 15" and 17" - for a whole lot less $$$, my comment would be
unless you are getting a L-o-n-g arm....26" or so, you are spending a lot of money and not getting a good amount of quilting space. . I would never be satisfied with a 9" arm for quilting. It is just too limiting, especially after the quilt is rolled on the take-up bar. If you have that kind of money to spend, go for something bigger...so you won't be wanting to Up-grade later.

I have a Crown Jewel with a Grace Majestic frame that was 10,000 new last April. It also included the channel locks, leaders, microhandles and the 4 day class in St. Louis with Kay Caps Cross.
