Longarm quilting frames
Can anyone tell me if the Handiquilter frames are the same as Q'nique continuum frame. Am thinking of the carriage size and the tracks. Looking for a 12ft frame in Aus, prefer 12ft. Have purchased a 19" Qnique machine, no frame, and the HQ dealer is more local here. USA suppliers will only sell the Contiuum through a very distant Aussie dealer.

They are not.
Interestingly, if you go to the Grace Frame website, the original Continuum is discontinued. That could be one reason you can't find one. You might look for a Continuum II.

Talk to Lynn and Kathy of Kathy Quilts. They will know all the answers. I used to ship for them. https://kathyquilts.com/ Their contact info is at the bottom of the website.

Handiquilter frames and not the same as the Continuum frames, and, as far as I know, the Grace Qnique machines will not fit on the Handiquilter Studio frames. I might be wrong. But I have heard of quilters trying to put their HQ longarms on the Grace frames and bumping into problems. So I'm guessing it works the other way around too...
