I don't have the Block Rockit but I did order the Grace Q'nique this week. They are supposed to be the same machines with different decals. I chose it because it will fit on the Grace frame I have now.

I have had my BlockRockiT since last summer and I am more than pleased with it. As someone else said, the price is very reasonable. I have found the support to be fantastic. I have mine on a Little Gracie II wooden frame, which I used with a Juki TL98Q before I got the BlockRockiT. I have never regretted my purchase!

I like to do diagonals across quilts, etc. and you'd have to roll it back and forth to do that. SO...I'm about to order a sewing table (probably from Tracey's Tables) with a surface that will support the quilt, and let me do FMQ with my 11" throat machine.

There is a very helpful Yahoo Group for the Block RockIt--I highly recommend it if you're considering the machine, and especially if you buy one.

Just my 2c,
