Welcome to the board and the wide world of quilting! Is ok, so many terms that seem interchangeable from the outside but get us thinking in some different directions.
I looked up your model of machine, I think that you will get better mileage by not using a frame due to what we call the "throat" or "bed" or other names of the machine too.
You can still do free motion quilting on that model, the difference is that the machine stays still and you move the quilt. I personally do better with a long arm, where I move the head of the machine and the quilt stays put.
