There are some pics here http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-34871-1.htm

It's a Queen Quilter by the makers of the Tin Lizzie. It's pretty basic and has a stitch regulator and a bobbin winder. Also came with the Grace frame and a laser for following patterns. It takes 6 steel "EMT" poles that you have to buy seperately. I got them at Home Depot for $7.50 each. I got 10' poles but you can use shorter ones.

If I had to do it again I would like a metal frame and it also doesn't have a channel lock, which I didn't think of. It will probably be very important for some things to be able to lock the machine carriage side-to-side and front-to-back. I've been looking at frames and they seem to start at around $2k.

I really like it. It moves very smoothly, almost too smoothly and it is easy to get out of control. I want to get the micro-handles with the controls on them for detailed work too.
