    Hmm, I looked at a lot of frames when I was buying mine. I don't recall seeing a frame where all the rollers are in a single line. Seems like all the ones I looked at had the backing and take up rollers on the top and the rollers that held the top and batting under the frame. The handles are usually on the top, OVER all the rollers. (take a look at the Grace site's photos: http://www.graceframe.com/site/machineframes )
    Looking at the Strima frame, I don't understand how or where the batting would go. You can see how they have the top and backing attached, and the roller in the harp of the machine is the take up. Even if you just floated the batting, it would lay over the handles, which are mounted at the base of the trolley. I would want to see this in action, either at a dealership or a video. Maybe you roll the backing and batting on the roller together????

    It's A Strima This is what I got when it was translated.

    The frame of the truck, which is used to run a sewing machine, allows you to create beautiful quilted patterns, in an easy and fun way to patchworkach, quilts, pillows, jackets, etc. The parts can be operated from the front or back through bilateral pedal actuating lever machine. A special index allows precise handling machine on pre-designed pattern. There is no need to make any modifications to the machine, except for the lower conveyor. The frame is equipped with two brackets capable of producing a suitable voltage side quilted materials. Three risers mounted on poles provide appropriate Upięcia quilted material, the bottom fabric (lining), foam and fabric upper (basic). The frame can be used on any, leveled table, quilting material allows for a maximum width of 265cm.
    Frame length is 3m. machine to the frame can JANOME 1600PQC or Janome Memory Craft 6600 PROFESSIONAL . The machine is not included in the price of the frame. Dimensions and weight of cartons: 1 box 127x65x17cm 29/31 kg 1 box 177x23x11cm 6/8 kg
    Cost 941 Euro = $1205 US

    It looks to me to be a frame that sits on top of a table, it also looks like the throat space is made for a short arm machine think juki,pfaff,viking not a true long arm. I own a grace frame and viking which were too small. I now use a nolting fun quilter on a summit frame. Love it. Anna

    oh yes, I see what you are saying. Like the old Handiquilter frames. Good catch.

    Re: Contacting other members in Poland. Did you know that you can search the members' list by location? Use the "Member List" link at the top of this page. When you get to the list, click on the "Search Members" link near the top of the page (right under the A.. B... C... links at the top). Select "Advanced Search", then put the location you want. Country , state etc. Looks like there is one other active member in poland. YOu might want to PM her.

    It seems to be expensive for JUST the frame, $1215(USD). It's designed for the home machine, but depending on how big the throat of your machine, will actually determine how big a quilting area that you'll have, which will also depending on the kind of batting you use.
