Thread: does anyone know about longarm dead bars

I have a Grace Pinnacle longarm frame and am wanting to add a dead bar to it. Has anyone done this? Or does anyone know of a site where I can find out how or if it can be done? Have checked out Youtube, my usual go to place but can't find anything there, also have Googled it and can't find any relative info there. After Youtube, I always come here. So many knowledgeable people on this board. Thanks in advance.

I have a dead bar on my frame but I use an Innova and their frames are set up with one and designed to be highly versatile and geared to customization. they are like an erector set.

I just downloaded the assembly instructions for the Pinnacle frame and I don't see any way to attach a dead bar but it is very difficult to tell from schematic drawings. I would highly recommend contacting the Grace company directly to see if this option is even feasible for this frame. Not all quilting frames can accommodate a dead bar.

Definitely contact the Grace company to ask. I could not find any examples of a Grace Pinnacle frame with a dead bar on the net.
