I don't know if this question has been asked on here before but I was wondering if anyone has the Z44 Fabri-Fast quilting frame. I am in the market for a hand-quilting frame and was just looking around online and found that one. It looks like a good frame, but just wanted some opinions.

I actually do have that particular frame. I love it. There are a ton of pieces in the box to put together but the directions are very, very clear and the frame assembly was quite easy.
I finally finished my very first hand quilted quilt and am so proud of it. Then it was time to widen the frame and put on the next quilt. That process took a little while but once again, everything went together just perfect.
The Grace company is an excellent company to work with. I was missing a couple of pieces and a phone call had the parts on their way in no time at all. They were very polite and very helpful!
I purchased my frame through Jo Ann's online simply because they had the best price at the time I was buying. Do shop around.
There is another posting somewhere on this site about quilt frames, if you can find it. It's been awhile.

Yvonne, am I understanding this advertising correctly...

that you can skip the basting process when using this frame? Wow, that would sure save me a bunch of work.....

Absolutely correct! No basting at all. Pretty neat, huh?! :D

I too have a floor frame, but it is an Hinterburg, and I love it1 Have had it for 10 years, and I can put a quilt in in about 20 min. and No basting! :D It is easy to turn the quilt, and 3 people can sit at it and quilt at the same time.

What ever brand you get, you will love it.
