Do you have a babylock dealer close to you? If so, I would go in and visit with them. I looked up the Grace Pinnacle Aluminum frame that will use your mahine. There isn't a whole lot of good information, but I am assuminig that your machine will connect to it, so that you do not have to use the foot pedal. I could be wrong! I am sure there are people here that know more than I do and should be around soon. There is also a home quilting machine yahoo group that you might be interested in. They have a lot of memebers and good information.
