Grace Start-Right Frame machine quilter totally rocks!

There seems to be a trend in the home machine quilting industry where manufacturers are making longer arm sewing machine heads and pushing machine frames that hold those machines. Do you ever feel like if you have a sewing machine with a throat of less than 10 inches you are missing the boat?

This marketing ploy by many of the midarm machine makers would have you believe that if you don't have a 16 or 18 inch machine head that you aren't a real machine quilter. I am here to tell you that you can do just as good of quilting with a nine inch Juki TL-98Q as you can with a HQ 16 or Avante 18. I will agree that you can quilt faster with a longer arm quilting machine, but if you aren't quilting commercially, can you really justify the cost?

The good thing is that the Grace Company has not forgotten those of us that don't have the means to invest in a really expensive longarm frame. The Grace Company came out with the Start-Right Frame a while back and the didn't sell like they thought they would. I have been in their factory and seen them stacked everywhere they can fit them. They have tons of them!

The Start-Right Frame is a steel frame which means it is really strong. It has smaller diameter frame rails which means the rails don't bend like the aluminum rails. These still have the cool Fabri-Fast system of attaching leader to the frame rails. You get all the benefits of the expensive frames like the Pinnacle, but at a fraction of the cost. It is literally a diamond in the rough.

Here is what is really cool, the Grace Company retails the eight foot version (Queen) of the Start-Right for $899. I can sell them now for $599, that is $300 off! These frames are very easy to set up. They take a fraction of the time it takes to set up any of the other Grace Frames. When you are quilting on it the carriage just glides like it is floating on air. Really a nice frame to quilt on. If you are looking for a Queen length frame that can fold away in a small space, or a frame that is really easy to use, you should check out the Start-Right.

Here is a special web site that has large pictures of the Start-Right Frame: www.startrightclothleaders.com
