I have a Janome 1600P DBX machine on a Bernina quilt frame.
I'd like to try using groovy boards and/or pantos but was told that the groovy boards are made for specific frames. Can anyone give me ANY advice on groovy boards, styluses, pantos, and lasers that might be work w/my set up?

i have groovy boards, pattern perfect, and designer made boards and all of them work on my grace frame with my grace stylus.
i have never had a problem with these items fitting - i haven't done a full inspection of the bernina quilt frame but i'm sure bernina built it with the idea that quilters will use boards and/or pantos.

i've borrowed them because i don't have any, but i intend to. it's my understanding that they're generic. just make sure that you don't get one that's bigger than your work area. if you can only make a 12" block, for instance, be careful not to get a board for a 15" space. also, the rule of thumb is to get 2, so you can move one ahead of your work at all times. i want baptist fan for mother's day and birthday. one each.

I know that you can use them. The Hancock Fabrics in my area has a bernina dealer with a demo frame set up. Its set up to use the laser and groovy boards. If you contact Bernina, I'll bet they can lead you in the right direction. I think you can use any laser. It is mounted on the table that holds the machine on my Tin Lizzie. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it doesn't have to special for your frame.

yes, i used it with my tin lizzie and the correct stylus.
there are lots of places to buy the boards, but i'll get mine at
http://www.baysidequilting.com/
look for 'shop online' on the top tabs, then 'sew boards' on the left side.
i get lots of my notions there on sale.
