Need advice about a Hinterberg home quilting frame
#1
I just found a home quilting frame on Craigslist for $400. Of course this is an awesome price!! But- I'm still waiting back to hear from the seller to get some details; ie: what it comes with, condition, etc.
Here is the link: http://hinterberg.com/stretchframe.aspx
In the meantime, what do board members think of this frame? I did a search on the board already, found some posts... some who said it's great, some who said it's not good.
I like the idea of it, because from the way it sounds, I can:
1. Set it up, take it down, as I need to. I don't have lots of space.
2. Attach my current machine to it.
Besides those features, anything else I should know? I don't care (YET!) to do any 'fancy' quilting- perhaps after a few years? -So a long arm machine would be obviously better, but..
I'm still new and learning a lot, so any advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm getting depressed with getting all the piecing and tops done, and then DREADING the actual quilting.
Thanks! Have a great morning!

I don't know what kind you are looking for but I recently purchased several hand quilting hoops from Grace Frame and they are on ebay with reasonable rates. I haven't checked them lately, but I noticed last time they had the 18" still there. I think they are faizing out old models and coming out with new. I purchased several years ago my floor model Z44 on Overstock.com and it came directly from Grace Frame. They must have switched to eBay Good luck with your search, and I love mine.

Just sold my original Hinterberg frame because I bought a larger set-up. I really liked my frame. I bought it because I had it in the room with our hidabed and had to disassemble it when our kids came from out of state to visit. My new one I can't do that with. Let us know what you decide.

I have good news! I didn't go with the Hinterberg- but I went with my sissy Karen (kbiederman on the board) to find another quilt frame on CL- it's an original Handi Quilter- in the box (not sure if it was ever used)- and I got it for $100!! Woot woot!
Now I just have to find a table I can put it on, lol!
I'll post pictures as soon as I get it set up. I'm SO EXCITED to be able to quilt on a frame!
After the table, I'll have to convince DH to get me a long-arm. hah!
