I have been looking and doing lots of research on quilting machines, it sounds like a really good price, but are you going to want to do King size quilts?
|
I bought the grace frame pro and Juki and this is going back about 6 years now . It also came with the stitch regulator which sells alone for 500 for the total setup I paid $2000. The only thing I would change is the throat size of the Juki other than that I absolutely love it
|
Sounds reasonable, would you be able to try to run it with her machine in place? I think I would try it out before I purchased.
|
I have this set up only on a Little gracie frame. I love it.
I have made king size quilts with no problems at all. i paid $1200 for both machine and frame about three years ago. It definetly is a great buy. |
I believe that model of Juki only has a 9 1/2" throat. I'm looking at mid-arms myself and told my DHI think I need at least 12 - 14" - hahahaha
|
Yes, that is a good deal and a good start. I have the same one and I use it all the time. There are limitations, but you can do a lot. Make sure to get the quilting patterns with it.
|
It is a great buy in my opinion. The throat space is probably only 10" but it is a great beginner set up
|
Sounds good. I know professionals that use that Juki, and they are very happy with it. I don't know about the frame, i only use my machine when I quilt.
|
I have this exact set up and love it. And that is a great price. Have made several quilts for the Downy Quilts for kids with it .mkay
