    Default Gracie Laser

    I purchased a Gracie SR2 Frame a few weeks ago and am waiting for the correct speed control for my Janome to be sent to me (mistakes happen). In the meantime, on the website I found the Gracie Laser for following patterns more accurately and ordered it. Does anyone else use a laser? And if so, what do you love about it? Any tips I should know about? Thank you ladies!

    I use a laser to follow pantographs. Have gotten much better at it after lots of practice.

    On most frames, you would lay the pantograph on the back of the frame, under the carriage. Then drive the machine from the back with rear handlebars. Can you get rear handlebars for the SR2 carriage? I've heard of a new set-up where you can guide the laser from the front, but I don't know where you'd put the pantograph.
