    Just would like to ask any one that has a grace frame a few question.
    I found one for sale with a juki machine. for 800.00.
    This is all new to me. I have put a call in to the person that is selling it (had to leave a message).
    What should I be looking out for. What questions should I ask.
    If I'm able to look at it, what should I be looking for?
    Like I said I'm very new to machine quilting. Thanks for any help you can give me.

    We don't have a Grace frame, some questions I would think to ask is,,,,, how durable are the wheels that ride on the frame carriage. Also if the wheels ride on rails that have a teflon type rail, how often do they need to be replaced. These are just a couple of issues we had run into with our frame.

    I have this very one! And I love it. I don't know how long they have had it or where it has been stored at etc. So I would check to see that the long table part of this is even and not bowing. Ever since I've had mine I have had it set up in my sewing room. Runs great. Smooth as can be. And It would be good like the other lady suggested if they could give you some pointers on using it. And youtube has tuts on this too.
