I have a Brother 1600 on Grace Quilting Pro wooden frame. I can't seem to do anything but stipple and the bigger the quilt the less space to quilt. I am looking at maybe getting a Pro 17.
Does anyone know if it will work on my Grace Frame? I can't afford a fancy longarm, just want to make feathers and do a little fancier work. If anyone has a Bailey Pro 15 or 17 I would really appreciate the insite before I bite the bullet.

When you say Grace Quilting Pro, do you mean GMQ Pro? Is it one of their older frames?
I had a Bailey 15" on a Little Gracie II frame, and it fit, but I would not have gone up to a 17" -- it would have been wasted space, because the quilting space on the frame itself is only so big. I don't think a machine that size would have fit on the carriage, either. But it depends on if your frame is bigger than the LG II frame or not -- I have a Pinnacle now, and a 17" would fit fine.

You can make any frame work if you have enough will. I put my baileys 15 on a Older Gammill frame. Gammill machines come with wheels on the sewing machine, so this was a little challenge but we managed. Works great! Good luck with your Baileys. Join that yahoo group that was mentioned, they've been a great help for me.
