I also have the 26" Innova on a 12' frame. The frame has a two-bar take-up system, so you never have to level the quilt, and there's more than ample space for a large quilt to be loaded onto the take-up bar. There's a picture of the frame on this page -

I don't think you can buy the Innova frame separately, but you might be able to find another frame that would work for you.
