I started out with my Brother PQ 1500 on a New Joy gold frame. The machine was a little heavy for the frame and if I wasn't careful, it could tip the whole setup over. I very quickly got frustrated with the space limitations and tired of the measly amount of quilting I could do. Hubby bought me a 26" Innova + frame for Christmas. Yes he is the best hubby ever and no you can't have him. 🤣🥰
