    I found a Grace Z44 on sale on line about two or three months ago.. couldn't believe it was on sale and then I found a coupon for free shipping! yippee! So I ordered it and it has been sitting in my sunroom in the box.. today is the day we get it out and set it up! I am so excited, but a little scared of it too! Wish us luck that all the parts are there and that when Pam comes over to help me put a quilt in it that everything goes smooth!

    Congratulations and good luck. Is this frame for hand quilting or will you be putting a machine on it? (sorry to lazy to look up the frame on line!)

    Huge Congrats!!! When I was quilting my sons quilt I remembered exactly why I wanted a quilting machine. My arms, shoulders, and hands were so sore.. Even my back!!.. So let us know how it goes... I might be rethinking a quilting machine..

    thank you all! My "Lovin' Man" is putting it together and so far there has been no cussing, so I think it is going well! I will be hand quilting with it. For some reason, I really enjoy hand quilting. I am going to try and give the Aunt Becky a try that Pam gave me! I hope I can get the hang of it, I just now got used to using a thimble (really still working on that) my hands really took a beating! I am so excited though. I will take pictures when it is up and has a quilt in it!
