I considered it but then I found the Gracie EZ frame on Joanns. i was saving for it and then found it on ebay. Got it for 150 including shipping :-D . For small quilts I use an embroidery scroll frame with the dowels replaced with longer ones. You can get them at home depot in 36 inches. Hope this helps.
I thought you meant for hand quilting. If you didn't I don't know if this will help at all. the only machine I've ever liked was my Moms old White. (Or maybe they don't like me. They always break.)
