The price sounds good for the Grace Frame. I have the GMQ and Janome 1600DB set up for king size. I needed an inexpensive way to find out if I really wanted to quilt on a frame. I was intimated by it at first. However, once I got it up and running, I found I really enjoyed frame quilting. After getting past the learning curve I found it easy to use. I also wish I had a larger throat machine. Now that I feel comfortable frame quilting, I'm saving my money to buy a 18" sewing machine to put on the frame. If you decide to purchase the frame, you might want to also purchase the carriage upgrade.
