Quilt From Either Side of the Frame
|
|
You can quilt from either side of the frame without worrying about where you step!
|
|
|
There are three handle grips at different locations on the frame allowing a variety of quilting positions. The triggers on these handles allow you to engage the foot pedal and begin stitching--its all at your fingertips!

Quilting from the back of the frame.

Quilting from the back of the frame gives you a perfect view of your stitching. Standing at the front of the frame, there are two places you can engage the pedal trigger: waste-high, or shoulder-high, whichever is most comfortable. Quilting at the back is ideal if you are following a pattern laid out on the table top. A stylus and versatile attaching mechanism is provided with your frame.

Easy and Accurate Fabric Installation
|
|
|
|
|
The aluminum rails provided with the GMQ are quilting frame rails done the right way. Grace Company designed, these rails have a slot that allows a wood dowel (provided) and fabric to slide in perfectly! Now fabric will be attached evenly and will stay that way through the entire project.

Smooth, Straight Tracking–No Metal on Metal
|
|
(Click here to Enlarge) |
The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine tracks. With the GMQ your machine rests on two specially designed, sturdy plates that track perfectly with ball-bearing rollers for an incredibly smooth ride. The wheels on the plates are tractor-style positioned to provide absolute balance and stability for your machine. There is no wobbling. These plates allow for over eight inches of forward/reverse travel in the work area. The only limit to your reach is your own machine.
|
|
The tracks for the bottom plate are engineered specifically for the GMQ out of ABS plastic. During the research stage we experimented with several different combinations of material, including metal tracking, but then we found the feel of metal-on-metal to be too cold and noisy–like fingers on a chalkboard. After trying the cushioned, smooth ride of steel wheels on plastic, it was an easy decision. The tracks are in-set on the tabletops in pre-cut grooves, so they automatically align and are guaranteed to stay straight, so you never have to worry about them being mis-aligned!

Excellent Tension Control
|
|
|
Front to back tension is controlled with three high-precision 30tooth ratchet wheels. These provide easy, smooth rolling of your fabric, and accurate re-setting of the tension. The double-locking stops hold the wheels in place when not rolling.

Perfect side-tension is made possible with our already popular EdgeMasterTM system. Simply pin the cloth sleeve (provided) into edge of all three fabric layers and gently pull out. Then lock the EdgeMasterTM into place using the lever. With our hand-quilting frame this device is an accessory. With the GMQ, it comes packaged with your frame.
