Congratulations! I am sure you will be pleased once it arrives.

Congratulations! It will give you years of good use. I have the Original Grace Frame and I can't to begin to tell you how old it is since I bought it used. It is finally seeing the end of its days and some of the wood parts are warping a bit. I have had it more than 15 yrs now. I have to get my machine serviced again and maybe I can get a few more years out of it. You will be very happy with it.

How exciting for you Watson...you’re gonna love the change from moving the quilt under the throat space. Congratulations,

Awesome! Better than a new machine. Enjoy the change.

Watson, I am happy for you. Show pictures when you get it all set up and know how to use it. Very exciting.

sewingsuz...if I wait until I know how to use it, you could wait forever for pictures!

My batting average with long arms is not good...the few times I've rented one have pretty much been disasters...but my shoulders just can't take moving the quilt anymore so....I am bent and bound I will learn how to use this.

If you could learn how to do it from watching YouTube video's, I'd be a master, by now. https://cdn.quiltingboard.com/images...es/biggrin.png

I am so glad you decided to take the plunge as it may be kinder to your shoulders.

I don't have room for anything but a Juki with a 9" throat and a babyloc Jane. So far I am still able to quilt on either one of them. I get up every so often and move my shoulders and arms around to loosen the muscles up. I usually quilt about 5 - 6 hours at a time. I do take a few short breaks.

Hi Watson,
Have you had a chance to use your frame? I just ran into a deal that I couldn’t pass up and will be getting one myself. Do you have the controller? Did you get the regular or pro model?
