"Short Arm Quilter"
#3
I have a Grace frame with a Pfaff with 9" throat. I, too, want a longarm!!! It's what I can afford now and I'm able to do small "quilting".....and a lot of meandering!!! It's a HECK of a lot better than trying to do a big quilt on the sewing machine! BTW - my Grace frame WILL take up to an 18" throat...so I may upgrade just the machine some day...

I have a Juki 9" on a New Joy Gold Standard frame. Haven't had it long, but so far, I am impressed. I also would love a longarm, but that isn't going to happen anytime soon...unless I win the lottery ;-)
My frame will fit up to a 13" machine, but if I upgrade, it would be at least a 16".

I have the Grace frame and a Juki machine. I quilted for a number of years with the Juki and no frame. It got the job done, but with a frame it is much easier. Someday maybe a longarm, but for now this is great.

The New Joy with a Janome 1600DBX on it was the first system I had. After I worked out the kinks & got over being intimidated by it, I loved it!
We bought a Gammill Classic in 2007. My husband does all my quilting now. I just don't like the big machine. I really hate that we sold the NJ & Janome.
This set up will do lots of quilts for you.
Check out the home quilting systems group on Yahoo. They have lots of info there for you.

I bought the new joy frame and have a Janome 1600 on it. I have had it for over two years and haven't done a thing with it, partially because I gave my sewing room to a teenage nephew for a year and then when I got the room back after he moved out, I had to repaint the room becuase it smelled like BOY! Anyway, I am going to be getting it up and running within the next month or so.
I am glad I bought it, even if I haven't used it. I can dream about all the quilts I am eventually going to do on it. He he.
