I'd vote Yes, if you can afford to. I bought a second-hand Grace Frame and put a Juki on it. I also live out where there are not a lot of quilters. DH priced it out-How many quilts would I have to do to "pay" for the Grace Frame? I think he figured I would have to do 8 or 9 before we added on the Juki machine. I also started about the same time as you and I have just about paid for my machine set-up by doing the quilting myself. And it is very fun!
