I currently have a Grace Start Right frame with a Juki 2010. Space prohibits getting a larger frame, but I am testing the waters for a longer/higher throat space. So far, the 2 that interest me the most is the Nolting M.A.Q 14 and the Bailey's Home Quilter 13. Big price difference. The Bailey's looks like it has a regular sewing machine tensioner system, while Nolty's has the industrial tensioner system. My Juki has a more industrial tensioner and it works really well. The Nolting also has an 8" harp height, which I think will give more quilting space toward the last rolls. (and it's purple, which is so cool!!) I live in Central Texas and there is a dealer within about an hour's drive for the Nolting. Not so with Bailey. Then there's the money aspect. I quilt only for myself and am just getting into frame quilting. So much to think about. Glad I found this Quilting Board.
