I should also tell you that if you have an older frame with the wooden carriage there is a carriage upgrade available that is all metal. Sooo much nicer and smoother. You can find it at AllBrands for $50 less than at the Grace website.

My neighbor has one. His wife recently passed and he has asked me to sell his for him. I'm not far enough along yet to post the information. I want to test drive it etc. and talk price with him (I'm guessing in the $600 range) when I post it I'll make sure I PM you - just in case you're interested.
I know his wife used hers all the time and LOVED it. She raved about it!!!

I have the 2010 and got it here: http://www.raichert.com/TL2010Q/tl2010.html Call and ask for Les. I think the price has gone up since I got mine, but, I paid $749 with free shipping. Be prepared to negotiate!

I have one on a Grace GMQ Pro frame. Also have the Grace Sure Stitch regulator. Its a learning curve going from sit down push the quilt quilting to frame quilting pushing the machine, but I'm getting used to it and would definitely not go back to pushing the quilt quilting! I paid about $1,500 total for frame, machine and pattern boards, and stitch regulator 2 yrs. ago.

I have the Juki TL 98 Q and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it for freemotion quilting! It has the addition of a thread cutter (over the QE) and I think that's one of my favorite features. Shop around for a good price; the newer models are out and these should be found for under $800 I would think.

I have the Pfaff Grandquilter which is the same basic design. Once you get the settings figured out, and give her all the oil she needs - nice quilting machine. I believe that this one also doesn't drop the feed dogs but you have a cover plate. The bobbin is large and it's easier when you use the extension thingy to place/seat the bobbin.

I have the Juki and the Grace Frame. One of the (many) reasons I can't get the hang of machine-quilting is because of the bobbin location. HOW in the world do you change the bobbin (and the needle for that matter) with the quilt and batting and everything in the way??
