My Imperial frame took the expert from the shop 6 hours to put togather. Major job with a million screws but really like the frame and my machine rides so smooth on the Inspira carraige. Also got the stitch regulator for $500 and love it.
Now I am moving and the frame is a big problem since it will not fit thru the door to my new sewing room. Have to take it apart and am dreading all the screws just to take apart half of it.
