Q-Zone Hoop Frame Review

If you're someone who has been interested in learning long-arm quilting but have been unsure because of the space it will take up or the cost. The Q-Zone Hoop Frame, from the Grace Company, is the perfect solution. At only four and a half feet wide, this frame can be set up in almost any room in your house. And, even given the smaller size, this frame can still be used to quilt king size or even larger quilts. This Q-Zone Hoop Frame is also a fraction of the price of a new quilting system. Another cost saving feature of this frame is that it allows you to utilize your regular sewing machine. Your machines sits securely on the carriage, is clamped in place, so it will not slide around. And then the carriage moves the machine freely and effortlessly across the frame while you free motion quilt your quilt. The frame is compatible with most domestic and long-arm machines up to 19 inches where you move the machine rather than your fabric, using a machine you're already familiar with. You can always decide to upgrade to a larger machine, at a later date like the Qnique 15. The Q-Zone Hoop Frame has built-in leveling feet and is also adjustable. Allowing you to either quilt seated, or standing up. Loading your quilt onto the frame is as easy as attaching your quilt top, batting and backing to the frame rails using clamps. A quick twist at the clamp, pulls the quilt layers taut and allows you to easily adjust and control the quilt tension. As you move down your quilt, simply remove the clamps and secure it with the clips, replace the clamps and continue quilting. Once you've finished quilting, simply remove the quilt from the frame, and then you're ready to take your machine off of the Q-Zone Hoop Frame and get to work piecing your next quilt.
