I had to look up your machine. You can put just about any machine on a frame, but I think the problem you're going to run into is that the harp - the open space between the needle and the right side of the machine - is fairly small. When the quilt is advanced onto the frame, it's wound around a bar that fits in this open area. You'll be restricted to smaller quilts. I started with a Brother 1500, which a harp size of 9 inches, and I really struggled.

Check out names such as Handi Quilter, Grace, and Juki. My frame was a New Joy, but I don't know if it's still available for sale, and it was too lightweight and flimsy. I had to be really careful when quilting towards myself because the entire frame would tip over.

Here's a website that shows some of the quilting frames I'm talking about:
