I have a Grace frame and a Juki, and am happy with both. The drawback of the Juki is the limited throat space, but it has more space than my Kenmore, and cost much less than mid-arm or long-arm machines. I found that the DVD with the Grace frame, as far as how to load the quilt, was pretty worthless, but if you'll check out LongArmUniversity.com, they have a 10-page article on how to load a quilt, and it's a great help. I keep the article next to my frame and refer to it frequently. Good luck!
