    I'm considering buying a Grace Start Right Machine Quilting Frame, queen size. Does anyone know anything pro or con about this frame?

    i would suggest you join the Grace Frame Yahoo Group.

    i can't speak directly about this frame because i have the pinnancle but there has been complaints about the teeth on the rails break and that the welding is done poorly causing skipped stitches every time you go over the welded areas on the group about this frame.

    many people say you get what you pay for when it comes to this frame and the resale market is limited because of these drawbacks.

    Thanks - I figured there must be some drawbacks because of the low price - too good to be true. I will check out the Grace group.

    i paid a fair bit for my hinterberg stretch frame and have never regretted it. if you are not going to put a long arm on the frame, you might think about the standard hinterberg. JMHO
