I use the 1500s on a frame and like it but all I do is pantos due to small quilting area. I do up to double size quilts on it, it is a lot of rolling but to me is better than a lot of basting or wrestling it around on a table top. Since there is no way I could afford a long arm, this works for me. BTW, I use my machine on a home made frame a gentleman made for me, so even my frames not fancy, but it works.
