Default need input on machine quilting frames

I am thinking of buying a quilting frame for my Brother ps1500. Any advice/input regarding a brand(s) would be appreciated. I have never fmq before and want to learn. Thanks!

Have you tried FMQ without a frame? Your machine should do that nicely.

Thank you for the encouragement and no I haven't tried to fmq yet but that is why I bought this machine, so I guess I need to try and see how it goes. Thanks for your input.

You might want to look at a Hinterberg stretch frame. It will accommodate a Voyager 17 later, if you decide to upgrade to a larger harp. The Voyager is a very heavy machine (stretched industrial Singer) and many frames would not be able to handle the weight, but the Hinterberg frame can. This is a very sturdy frame.

I have a new joy frame with that machine, and it works well. That machine does very well quilting in or out of a frame. I love it.
