I got the frame so cheap that I went ahead and bought it without realizing how much a machine would cost for it. grrrrr

Would this work on a proflex frame?

From what I understand that machine only has an 8 5/8" throat which is not a long arm. I would rather go with something like a Juki tl98p which has a slightly bigger throat and I personally think a better reputation for reliability than the Singer. If the machine is going to stay mounted on the frame do you really need all the fancy stitches?

The Juiki is about $2000. Was hoping to find something a little cheaper. Looks like I might not be able to.

The Juki TL98 is on ebay for "Buy it Now" at $899. I'm curious about it.I have another Juki, and love it. Now sure how this one is though.

since you saved so much o the frame, I think its okay to spend a little bit more on the machine

The Juki TL9 only has an 8.5" throat area. Would that work on the proflex frame?

Just remember any machine you buy, if you take care of it, will last you for years, and you can do more than just quilt on them. Spend a little extra now may save you in the long run, get one that will do what you want, don't get one that you think you can make do with you won't be happy with it.

I agree with the suggestion of a BHQ 13. I really want a BHQ 17. Have fun shopping around.

There are Juki's, Brothers and Janome's that are used on frames around and under 1000.00
