I bought the Grace SRll quilt frame a few years ago for something like $350 ( I think), however it's no longer being sold. It's held up well using my Janome 1600P on it. But like mkc explained, with an 11" throat space you can only quilt about 5" at a time after you get rolling because of the take up bar. At this point in my age (70) I can't decide if I want to purchase a machine with a larger throat such as a 17" or just give up quilting because of the cost of everything.
