Fit a 18" throat machine on a SR-2 frame
This might seem like a strange question. But I have a Grace Frame SR2 which I think is just right for me. Currently it is set up for my Juki and that's just fine.
The thing is that I'm thinking that I might, in a year or so, upgrade to an 18" throat machine. The problem is that the frame is not built for anything bigger than a 13" machine... But I'm thinking it might be possible to make the bottom track a bit wider and the carriage track a bit longer? The frame is great in many aspects - and I certainly don't need anything bigger.
If I wanted an 18" long arm I'd have to transport it back to Sweden and the frame is just not possible to bring along. So I'm hoping there is someone out there who has been mad enough to adjust their SR frame in this way.
Crazy?
