I have been very happy with my Grand Quilter with a Gracie frame!!! It is 10' but I only have room for the 5' part of it!!
It suits me to a T---I get bored too easily to make LARGE quilts!!!!
I have a groovy board that I have never used, a laser light for pantograffs, also never used and a stitch regulator that I use all the time!!!
I just meander or stipple all over---did try ruler work once and while it turned out mostly good.....it was very labor intensive--That may have been due mostly to the 9" throat!!
It works great for me--it holds my quilts together!!!
