Default Grace Q Nique quilting machine

I am thinking about purchasing this machine to go on my Grace Queen frame. Just wondering if anyone on here has it and how they like it. I have been using a Babylock 1500 machine on it now.

What will this machine do that your current one doesn't?

I'm pretty sure the Block Rockit is the same machine.

I'd see which one you could get a better deal on.

They are basically the same machine, same pricing from what I see. It has a much larger harp than the one I am using. Mine is only 9 inches and the more you roll the less you have. I only do meandering on mine now as pantos and doing any design is pretty much not happening.

I have the Block RockIt and have had for a couple of years. It was the original machine, made by the Grace Company for Kathy Quilts. Grace then began selling them with their own name. I am very pleased with mine. It has a built in stitch regulator, a roughly 15 inch throat, M class bobbin, and needle up/down. I also have rear handles so I can (I'm trying to learn!) do pantographs from the back. That I have not mastered yet! I have never been sorry for purchasing this machine and it does everything I want it to do. What I would like to have now is the Launchpad frame made specifically for this machine--it wasn't available when I bought mine. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to order it. Support is really great for either of these machines, which is a big plus for me. Help is only a phone call away.
