It is a very basic, simple machine quilting frame with a collapsible set of legs under it for easy storage. They do mention that it comes in 2 sizes--6' and 8' and at the 8' size you'd be able to do a little larger than full size quilts but not queen unless you quilted the borders after removing it from the frame.

It really is very similar to the original Handiquilter frame and reminds me of a sturdier version of the Grace Sturdy Lite and Little Gracie frames.

I didn't find a price listed for it so can't say how it compares price-wise to a starter frame.

I don't understand what amma means by the movement because it appears to move like any machine quilting frame and Stitch in the Ditch is not something you normally do on the frame unless you've got the ruler base, channel locks, stitch regulator and special ruler for stitch in the ditch work which is not something you would be doing as a newbie anyway. Those are some of the bells & whistles on the more advanced (read much more expensive) setups.
