Concrads, the green glow from the west is me envying you. I do not have a frame but I do have the machine. I love it. Like others I use it for both free motion and piecing. The machine itself is very powerful. I use to fight my old machine to get over seam intersections, now it sails over without any hesitation. The machine itself is noisier than the electronic ones but that doesn't bother me at all. Have fun with your new toy. Be sure and let us know what you think of the frame.
