Why I like the Grace Start-Right Frame

Here are some really great reasons the Start-Right frame is a great machine quilting frame to get started with:
  • Better tracking system than any of the other Grace Frames which gives you better control over your quilting. It really makes learning how to machine quilt a lot easier.
  • The frame is over half way set up right out of the box. The Start-Right frame is the easiest frame to set up because much of it is already assembled.
  • The Start-Right Frame is made from steel with a powder coated finish. It really makes it nice for dusting it off and keeping it looking like new.
  • The steel frame rails are thinner than the aluminum rails on the other frames. Steel is stronger so the rails are less likely to bend or bow. With a thinner take up rail (the one that the quilt gathers up on as you quilt on your frame) you can get more quilt rolled up on the rail before you don't have enough room to do your pattern. The room inside the arm of your sewing machine really comes at a premium so having a thinner rail that is stronger is a great asset.
