I started quilting on a Grace Pro 10ft frame using the Viking MegaQuilter 9in machine. Fell in love with quilting but not the short throat space. Plus I can't FM quilt to save my life so went with what they called PCQ robotic system. Moved up to MQR that used the parts from the PCQ so I wasn't out all that money for it. Finally moved up to a stretched 18in Juki 98Q using the same frame and robotic system (MQR). Now I'm up with the big girls using a 12 ft frame, Innova 26" and IQ system. Think I'll stop there as I quilt just for myself anyway. But that 1st setup gave me my love for quilting.
