this is a good topic for me...
I have the Grace Frame (king size), but have the janome 1600 machine on it.. only about 10" of throat space...
it took me a while to "dare" to quilt.. and get things going.. good thread is a must... i float my batting and tops most of the time... and am pretty caught up in a free motion of loop de loops..sometimes with a little flower incorporated. and horizontal stippling... this keeps me happy most of the time, but can't help thinking about getting a machine with larger throat...
I just can't decide... speed control seems good, but i think it would hinder the flow.... and the computer looks great.. but a little too perfect for my taste..
so as was said.. i guess i'm sticking to the "free spirit" mode... saves money and i'm still having fun.. might just try some "pantogram"..
