I tried this one and I really liked it. If I were to buy a machine frame,
this is the one I'd pick. I like the construction, and the fact that it can
be folded up (not easily, but then that just shows how sturdy it is). It is
also alot closer to my budget than any of the long-arm machines. I also like
the Janome 1600 with it.

Thanks Roberta. I have no idea where I would even find one around here to
try it out. We don't even have a local quilt shop. I may have just missed
it but I don't think there has even been a quilt show in my area either. I
buy my fabric online because the only choices here for fabric is Hobby
Lobby, Wal-Mart and Hancock fabrics.

No idea about prices, but please don't buy one if you haven't tried it
out.
At a quilt show a few years ago, I was able to test drive the Grace (with
a
different machine) as well as a longarm and another "home machine" system
the name of which I have forgotten. Grace was better than that other
system,
but absolutely no comparison with the longarm. And I thought the wooden
frame was a bit clunky, but YMMD.
