I have a Cutie frame and Q'nique 15" Pro with stitch regulator as well as robotics. I thought long and hard about the Cutie vs the Grace firm that is only a few inches longer. I have space constraints. While the Q'Nique 15 has been discontinued I also had to consider space there also. The larger the throat space the more depth you need for quilting. Example: I can quilt approximately 12" with the 15. The Cutie frame does come with legs as well as a tabletop version. The Cutie frame can accept up to a 19" machine. Whether you get a Cutie or a Grace frame if you don't have a dedicated machine you will be switching out your sewing space for piecing/sewing or quilting. The Cutie or Grace frame will require moving the width of the quilt if doing anything bigger than a laptop quilt. I went with the setup I currently have because of a great sale at Sewing Machines Plus. You can get stitch regulators on machines or manually, your choice. I chose to go with a stitch-regulated machine to take one equasion out of the learning curve I do ruler quilting so with the stitch regulator that equation out of the learning curve. You should think about all add-on items you might want or need.
