I have the 10' Original Grace Frame and learning on it was not difficult. If you have a stitch regulator that is the biggest help. Next is thread. I use Glide thread and love it. Then there is tension. That may take some practice as I found with mind the tension from side to side may vary. Make sure your frame is level. I have on a number of occasions used an inexpensive fabric and low loft poly batting to do test work. Once the top and the bottom are just what I want then I take that off and put on the quilt I want. I can use that sample quilt again and again until it finishes. It may look wonky but that practice piece can make a useful beach quilt and a carpet cover for toddles so don't toss it out! It can also be easily reloaded on the frame while you are learning another new pattern on your Grace frame and machine. Have loads of fun.
