I purchased the GMQ Pro frame (by Grace) and a 13 inch Bailey quilting machine which will fit your budget. Why settle for a 9 inch when you can have a 13 inch? And for a little more, you can go with the 15 inch machine. The longer the machine, the more quilting space you will have.
Please research all these options that are being offered by members here.
Don't be sorry later.
