CONGRATS, I wish the 17" was available when I got my 15", but I'm happy with her. What frame did you get?

Wow, you're gonna have a great time with it! I love my 15" (even when it makes me want to tear my hair out sometimes). And yeah, what frame did you get?

That is exciting! I am looking at the same thing, but with 2 kids in college it may have to wait a while.

I got the Grace Pro GMQ I think that's the name - I will be able to quilt up to king sized quilts. I am so excited. My DH thinks it will get here before the weekend but I betting on next week. That way I won't be disappointed.

Today I am working on finishing a quilt I started 14 years ago, another I started in May. That way when it gets here I will have at least four tops to work on. One over sized queen, 1 king, and 2 lap quilts.

I know I probably shouldn't have I just had one child graduate from high school and have a junior in high school. BUT DH said I could so I did :-)

I'm pretty sure you know this but just in case here goes....it's not as easy in real life as it is in your head, get about 4 yds of muslin and a low loft batting for a practice quilt, if you end up going all over the whole piece you can switch to a different thread color and practice some more :wink:

Kathy - that's a great idea thank you! I would have thought when I finished now I gotta get some more so I can practice.

kristen0112 08-26-2010 08:26 PM

I just have to say I am about to cry putting together that stupid frame....I guess I should have taken more wood and shop class shop in high school.

I feel your pain! just take your time, read, read, and reread, and sometimes the directions still don't make sense!I don't remember if you said what frame you got but mine is GMQ Pro. I put it all together by myself upside down then when I was finished I got my brother to come help me set it upright. you'll get it, just hang in there, we're rooting for ya

Thanks. I've read and read the directions. It's the same frame. I am having a heck of a time putting the legs on. I think my hands were just too sore from putting in that track it wasn't easy. I haven't gotten any farther today I went to the state fair with my kids. Maybe after dinner I will go work on it again. Again thank you for your encouragement.
