Hi Lindaschipper, how long is the throat on your Janome 1600P? My concern is that I would not be able use my current Singer 8060 machine with it as the throat is short, maybe 7 in. Maybe that is OK for baby and lap quilts, which is all I do right now. Then if I like the Grace frame, I could invest in a machine that fits better. Just not sure. Welcome everyone wisdom, as I am a new quilter, only 2 years in but I really enjoy it.
