I have the space for this and for the price I think it's worth the trip 6 hours there and back.

Can anyone recognize this brand?

Thanks in advance

This looks like a New Joy frame with the upper shelf removed...See what you think...

Not a clue but looks to be quite the deal! Good luck.

You might be able to lay a table surface across that big open space in the back and put paper pantographs there. Follow them with a laser light mounted on the back left side of the machine (as you are standing in the back alongside the back of the machine) and quilt from right to left. That would be easier than following it up on a high shelf, but you have to get the table under the machine's carriage, and everything has to be absolutely level, everywhere. Good luck! There are assembly directions for the stand on that NewJoy link posted above---scroll down---they're on the left side.

Oh my! I would snap that up in a minute. Putting it someplace is a different story. Good luck. I am sure you will learn how to use it in no time.

It is a small frame, only 60" wide and not very deep so you will not be able to quilt large quilts with it. You could quilt large pieces and sew them together. Also, make sure you have a machine that will fit the space for it on the frame. There doesn't appear to be a stitch regulator that comes with it. I'd ask for a demo if you are going to drive all that way be sure to get some instructions on how to load it also.

You can see there is a carriage for your machine at the top of the photo. BUT unless you have a wide harp or opening and like rjwilder just said, you will be limited to the depth of your quilting. Also, the 60" limitation is a negative to me as I only make queens for the family.

I tried something similar with a Bernina 730 and with their frame and was frustrated with having such a short quilting space and it seemed all I did was wind the project forward, clamp and clamp, stitch across once and then wind it forward, clamp . . . . I returned the frame. If it were me, I think I would pass owing to the limitations.

After reading the above message I would agree with Suz!
