Grace Q Nique quilting machine
 
I am thinking about purchasing this machine to go on my Grace Queen frame. Just wondering if anyone on here has it and how they like it. I have been using a Babylock 1500 machine on it now.

What will this machine do that your current one doesn't?

It has a much larger harp? I am looking at this machine now

I'm pretty sure the Block Rockit is the same machine.

I'd see which one you could get a better deal on.

Do a search on this board. Be sure and use correct spelling! q'nique

They are basically the same machine, same pricing from what I see. It has a much larger harp than the one I am using. Mine is only 9 inches and the more you roll the less you have. I only do meandering on mine now as pantos and doing any design is pretty much not happening.

I have the Block RockIt and have had for a couple of years. It was the original machine, made by the Grace Company for Kathy Quilts. Grace then began selling them with their own name. I am very pleased with mine. It has a built in stitch regulator, a roughly 15 inch throat, M class bobbin, and needle up/down. I also have rear handles so I can (I'm trying to learn!) do pantographs from the back. That I have not mastered yet! I have never been sorry for purchasing this machine and it does everything I want it to do. What I would like to have now is the Launchpad frame made specifically for this machine--it wasn't available when I bought mine. Hopefully one of these days I'll be able to order it. Support is really great for either of these machines, which is a big plus for me. Help is only a phone call away.
