    I met an older couple today who offered me an Inspira frame for $200. First , is this a good price. 2nd...I am strictly a hobby quilter who pretty much only makes charity quilts. Can I use a Babylock Ellure with a 7" throat on this? I hope to get a machine with a longer arm but right now it is just not in my budget. I keep on reading that this Inspira frame is made for the Pfaff grand quilter...Any thoughts? thanks

    thats a very good price for the frame.

    you can use your existing machine on the frame until you can afford a bigger machine.

    just keep in mind that with a 7 inch machine you will have about 3 inches of quilting space so keep your designs simple. meander, stipple, etc.

    Is it the older one with the shelf on the top? If yes then it only takes upto 9" throat if i am not mistaken. I just sold mine with the machine and regulator. With a 9" machine you only get 5" of stitching on it. Yes the price is good

    Can always resell if it doesn't suit you. At that price, I think you'd get your $$ back.
