Mom says she can only afford to spend $200 and the ones I have found are around $250 to $300. Can any of you help me with your experiences and suggestions?
Thank you!

I found a Grace EZ3-FF for $199.00 before tax and shipping. But just am not sure what to do.
I also hand quilt. My first quilt frame is the Edmunds maple quilting frame. You must attach fabric to the bars so you will be able to quilt to the ends. I use this on our closed in porch because there is more room there and good light during the day.

I also have a floor frame with hoop from Joann's which works well in my bedroom with an Ott lite.

and a small table top quilt frame (hoop that you slip your hands under and can quilt 14" circle at a time).
If I had the extra money, I would go for the Grace Z44 Professional frame. Good luck
