I just got my grace qzone Queen, not the Cutie, but I assume they are similar. Im planning on using a Janome 1600P with the frame. I got mine all assembled and was eager to load a practice quilt when I discovered you need these special fabric leaders to load the quilt onto the frame. These were not included (no surprise). So now I have to order the leader kit ($190) or make my own, which will require extra wide high quality muslin. I dont know if the Cutie has same issue, but you might want to skip to the end of the manual to check it out. You may need to order some additional extras to make it work.

Moving your Quilt on Cutie Frame
In my humble opinion, unless I was strictly going to do baby /toddler/ throws quilts, I wouldn't have one. Simply not enough space on this quilting table to do a bed sized quilt. I suppose you could do a bed quilt by quilting two half's of one separately and then joining them together as a Quilt As You Go style. But how would you get the quilting lines to match up where the half's meet?
