The frame is a Hinterberg Stretch frame with 10' poles. I hear everyone talking about using 12' poles but don't know where they get them as Home Depot, Lowes only sell 10' ones. Anyway that goes up to 120" if I need more than that I'll figure out something. The machine is my beloved Juki 98Q. A workhorse of a machine that does a wonderful job of sewing.
I got the frame for Christmas 07 so I'm still in the newbie process of quilting. My husband made me the handles and a cruise control which works very well. I now find quilting to be a joy which is why I'm getting my ufo's finished off. I've done 8 quilts and have another 8 to go.
I had tried the John Flynn frame prior to this but found it very awkward, it sits on a shelf now. The stretch frame is under $900 and worth every cent.
