I bought a GMQ Pro frame along with my Bailey 13" Home quilter 2 years ago. The frame is very sturdy and has 4 section that can extend to king size. My room will not allow for the King size extension, but I bought it with the intent of having the complete package when I stop quilting and sell my equipment.

It is a very strong frame and would take a larger machine easily if and when you plan to upgrade to a longer mid-arm machine. There is actually about 22 inches between the front pole and the take-up pole, so it will accommodate some of the longer mid-arm machines, which will allow you to do more quilting before you have to roll your quilt.

I have never regretted investing in a good frame.

Oh, wow, such good information!! Thanks everyone!

Do you think it would be okay to use my Bernina 200 or Aurora 440 with this frame???

If you have machines that are less than 9" in the throat area, I would not think you would be happy with such a small area for quilting Some of the women who have 9" machines say they are reduced to about 4" to 5" quilting space. I am sure you understand how the quilt rolls on the pole into the throat area. Ask more questions if you need help. we are all willing to help.

I was amazed at such a low beginning bid.

Thanks June -- that's what I was wondering about. Might have to invest in a machine with a bigger throat. Any suggestions?
