Short arm quilting???

I REGRET PURCHASING THE GRACIE QUEEN QUILT FRAME!!! It took MONTHS to set it up, the joint between the crib and queen size made the carriage fall of the tracks. When I contacted the company, they acted as though it had never happened before but after talking to other people, it happens all the time!! I had to get my Dad, a master carpenter, to fix the problem. My first choice was a steel frame but they wouldn't ship to Canada. Kathy Quilts recommended this wooden frame for my basement! I told them it would be in my basement!!! SERIOUS BUYER'S REMORSE! ANYONE WANT TO BUY THIS FRAME FROM ME??

I have a New Joy Gold Standard frame with a Janome 1600p and stitch regulater/ I'm quilted several quilts on it. As others have mentioned, you don't have much room, but it can be done. for me, it is much easier that sandwiching the quilt and pushing, pulling it through the same amount of space.

Those of you with short arm machines on frames, how essential do you think it is to have the Sure-stitch or Grace stitch regulator, especially when getting started? I have a frame, but no machine for it yet. I know some people say to get as big a machine as you can, but I really want to get good at this and I've also heard that the stitch regulator can be very helpful. A nine inch machine with stitch regulator is comparable in price to a 13 inch Bailey without a stitch regulator. What do you think?

I have the Baby Lock Jane with a stitch regulator on my frame. My frame has very large rods so that takes up even more room. So it just sits taking up room in my sewing room until I can afford a long arm machine.
Do love the stitch regulator though.
