    Default Need advise on home quilting systems

    I have a Husqvarna Ruby embroidery machine and want to pair it with a quilting frame. Does anyone have advice on what frame to use?

    Which ever you choose, just keep in mind how heavy your machine is. Not all frames can handle an embroidery machine.

    The fact that your machine is an embroidery machine doesn't matter. You can't use the embroidery function on a frame. I would check with the frame manufacturer, such as Grace, for compatibility.

    Grace makes a small 5ft frame that can quilt any size quilt and they make it for brother. I would contact them and see if the dream frame would be compatible for your machine. It works with the brother embroiderycombo/sewing only machines

    I have a large Brother. I don't understand how an embroidery machine would benefit from a quilting frame. The digitized programme operates the contiguous frame itself. The only benefit I can see might be to repeat a design along the edge of the quilt. The other factor might be if the machine will operate without the material carriage in place?
