Hi Watson, I have a wooden Gracie frame similar to the photo you posted. I bought it used for the same price that your seller is asking. I went to the Grace Company website and it appears they no longer sell the wooden frames, this is a new development as a year ago they were still selling them, for around $2,000-$2500 cdn. I have a Nolting Hobby Quilter on my frame, 16” throat, heavy duty machine but without a lot of bells and whistles. So you can easily upgrade to a longarm in the future and keep the Gracie frame. I’m not sure how the table/rail system compares to others in terms of smoothness as I haven’t attended any quilt shows and test driven other models. But I’m happy with mine, tried this particular used table and machine before I bought it. I know there are tables and machines out there that are a lot fancier than what I have, but I don’t have plans to longarm quilt for a business, so it was hard to justify paying many thousands of $$, this was a good compromise for me.
