Hi Ashley,
I think it is safe to say that you would need to replace the motor with something smaller. That motor is far too heavy to mount on a lightweight carriage to push around on a gracie frame. (it would build up your upper arm strength though)
You should also consider the sewing speed. It is easier to learn with a stitch regulated machine because you will not be using feed dogs to move the fabric. Stitch regulation automatically controlls the speed of the machine based on how fast you are moving the machine over the quilt. My quess is that machine does not have stitch regulation, ask if the feed dogs can even be dropped.
