I didn't have a grace frame, but a super quilter table top that I used my domestic Pfaff on. I just did meander and went all across the whole quilt. I, too had a limited space which really amounted to 1.5 to 2 inches at the end of the quilt so I didn't experiment with much. There is several youtube videos by people that are successful with these types of set ups.
Good luck on your search.
