Quick note about adjusting the tension on your Grace Start-Right Frame

Sometimes when you want to roll your quilt the cog stop can snap if you force it. I push on the tension release and roll my quilt till it gets to the right place then set the tension again. Roll it a click or two and it if fine. There have been some people that break that cog stop if they force it. Take care of your frame and you will have years of fun with it.



This awesome frame is now on sale starting at $399. Click here for more info.

While I am talking about the Start-Right Frame I should mention that the Queen size Start-Right Frame is the only way to go. When you get the Crib size there really isn't enough length to do very much. The cost isn't that much more for the Queen size. Don't waste your time when ordering. Get the Queen length Start-Right from KathyQuilts.com.

Grace Pinnacle Machine Quilting Frame is a great frame

The Grace Company is redesigning their wooden GMQ Pro frame so they are currently unavailable. The is not very good news because we really love this frame. It has been the frame that we would recommend most when someone wanted a King size machine quilting frame. The Pinnacle is the other Grace Frame that we recommend when someone wants a more professional type machine quilting frame. Price has been a bit of a road block for many people that wanted to get into a machine frame and Juki sewing machine for under $2,000.

Well the Grace Company has having a temporary sale where the Pinnacle is now $400 off the retail price. $1,499.95 is a great price for this awesome machine frame. If you have a sewing machine that is compatible with the Grace Speed Control or the SureStitch stitch length regulator, then this is a frame that you really should look at. The Pinnacle is an aluminum frame that gives you a great feel as you quilt. Whether you are new to machine quilting or have been quilting for years the Grace Pinnacle is a frame that will work very well for you. It is important that you don't have to fight your frame when you are quilting. There are far too many quilting frames that the rails are horrible or the tracking system for the carriage is like you are scratching your fingernails on a chalkboard. Yuk! The carriage of the Pinnacle nearly floats as you quilt. With great control you can learn to quilt much easier.
