I have a Gracie II, with a Brother 1500s. The machine is appx the same size as yours. I agree with QuiltnNan. Practice on something small first. My first practice was a queen size and that was a real challenge, and a mistake. - It will take longer to complete a quilt than someone using a machine with a longer throat. Since we only have about a 9" throat and with the quilt rolling up that leaves about a 6 1/2" playing field to start. Depending on the length and thickness of your batting, that playing field will decrease to about 4". You will find yourself rolling the quilt more often. I love my machine and frame, but a longer thoat would allow for larger continuous designs. Have fun and enjoy!
