I bought a quilt frame, metal from Gracie that does up to a crib or throw blanket. I figured it would help me learn. I put my machine on it and could barely do one row before stopping and turning. I eventually got the Viking Mega quilter 9in but never got around to setting the whole system up. I went to sell the frame once but after I got a couple of prank callers decided to forget about it. Now, I try to think hard about what I'm buying
