Those pictures are great! It took me a lot longer the first time I did my Grace frame but it is basically the same as what you have. Yours looks to be a much sturdier and better made frame, but I do know that it is a bit more expensive. Being new, I did not know one from another, but my frame works for me. I did do an overside lap quilt on a large Hintenburg round standing hoop but I will never do that again. It was much too big and bulky and that frame is better suited for smaller pieces, I think. While I think of it, do you have trouble wth Fons and Porter pencils? Mine do not seem to show up very well so I end up using regular #2 pencils which washes out completely when I wash the quilt. it is the only pencil that I can get to show up clearly.
