Grace Frame Gracie King
The Gracie King replaces the GMQ Pro machine quilting frame from the Grace Company. Gracie King is so awesome because you can use your home sewing machine on it or put a longer throat machine with up to 18 inches of throat space and quilt like the pros. You can set the frame up either King, Queen or Crib. You can finish quilts that are 122 inches or smaller if your Gracie King is set up King size, 87 inches or smaller if it is set up as Queen and, 51 inches or smaller if you have it set up Crib size. With the Gracie King the batting rail (4th pole) is included. It is nice that you can start out with your frame set up Crib or Queen size and have the extension to expand out to King if you want. This is the largest frame the Grace Company makes and it is the best value for the money. Gracie King will make finishing your quilts beautifully so much easier. Plan on your frame taking up about 135 by 40 inches if it is setup King size, 99 by 40 inches if it is setup Queen size, or 63 by 40 inches if set up Crib size.

If you are a bit confused and find it hard to decide between a wood, aluminum, or steel frame, I want to tell you that all the frames the Grace Company makes do a great job. The reason they make frames from these different materials is that people just have different preferences. If you feel a metal frame will work better for you then look at the Grace Frame Majestic Frame Quilter which is King length, metal construction machine quilting frame. If you are under space constraints but want a Queen length frame then you need to check out the Grace Frame Gracie Queen.
