Found this on ebay....

Is it worth the price they are offering or is this pretty close to the same price elsewhere?

I've heard the first one, the Lite, is just not as sturdy as that second one. The GMQ pro seems to be a better frame plus you get the Juki with it & the speed control. I guess it all depends on how much you want to spend & if you've got a machine already to put on a frame. The Hinterberg frames are very well made & sturdy. Check them out too. hinterberg.com

I recently bought a Little Gracie 11 frame and I love it. It''''s a very sturdy frame. And very easily adjustable as well.Even though the largest quilt that I can do on mine is a queen size for I really do not do anything larger than a queen size any way. And I am very satisfied with the frame that I received. And the instructions to put my frame together was very understandable and we had no problem with putting my frame together. It does however take time to put these frames together. But love how smooth my machine glides across this frame. Would highly recommend the Little Gracie 11 frame if the largest quilts you make are queen sized.

I have just a regular sewing machine on my Grace ll Frame just for the time being. Til I can decide what features I would all like to have on a new machine that I would like to replace the one that I have on there now. For I definitely want to get something with a longer arm for sure. Just not sure what features I would really like. For there are so many machines out there but I have not found one yet that would have all the features that I would want. Seems like you have to choose with having auto cutters versus or up down needle button and a few other features.It's seems like you have to settle for either one or the other.Same for stitch regulators, and speed controllers, some machines will work with those and some won't. So I'm having a real tough time as to figure out what would be the best way to go. Eventually I'll figure it out. But for now I've been satisfied with working with my regular sewing machine on my frame and practicing as much as I can with my frame.

Rita 1, look at the Baby Lock Quilter's Professional. It has the longer arm, auto cutter and the up/down needle plus it works great with the Little Gracie stitch regulator. The price is pretty good as well.
