I have a New Joy frame with a 9" Brother1500S. I actually am in the market to sell it, because I realized belatedly that my preferred quilting style will not work on a frame mounted machine with a throat that shallow. My quilting motifs tend to be organic rather than linear. Once I got the frame set up, there was a bit of a learning curve, but after that it worked fine. I just had to leave more room at the ends to deal with changing bobbins etc.
