    Thanks to all of you for the great welcomes!! I am starting a new subject about advice I can get about the earlier model Handi Quilter. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, my best friend from school has given me her Handi Quilter so I will need help!! Thanks so much... Ganma/Joyce

    Hello and welcome from SW Iowa. I have never heard of Ken Lund. I got a Grace frame. Not to expensive and it works great.

    I own the Ken Lund frame. I made a few changed, simple put a coat of varnish on it and changed the way I hooked up the tracks so I can easily take it down when not in use. I love working on this frame! I use the Juki 98TL Q with it and it handles very well.

    Can you send a pic of this frame. I'm curious.

    I will be setting it up again in a day or so and will be sure to get a pix. I use my sewing room as an occasional guest room and so it is down right now, (daughter visiting). That was why I chose this frame, I can take it down in less than 2 mins! I will get one up as soon as I can.
    I also made 2 sets of tracks and rods, one is 96" and the other is 50" to accommodate either a bed quilt or lap, baby quilts.

I am just wondering if anybody has any experience with one of these. I emailed him and he was nice enough to call me back. He has a couple of videos on youtube. Thanks, Ganma7
    I saw that same video. and looking at it. I made something that works for me (at least as much as I know what works) in two sizes The big one uses PVC pipe, and the small one uses wooden doll rods and eye hooks. The ends are just thin pieses of plywood. a few pics to show you might help. Total cost for both was well under $50.00

    3' long to do small items

    Your experience with this frame is so positive. A dear friend has given me her Handi Quilter. We almost have it ready to go. I too want to see your pictures when you get them posted. Ganma7

    Ganma7, good luck with your Handi Quilter. You are lucky to have such a friend.
    I will post as soon as I get it set up again. I love the kids coming but I have a stack of flimsy that I want to get to and for me, the quilting is the best part! Good therapy!
