Grace Z44 Professional Fabri-Fast Quilting Frame

Terrific Value And Extremely Versatile



Here's what we like about the Grace Z44:

* This frame is compact at only 35 inches from front to back yet giving a 14 inch tiltable work area.
* It comes equipped with extension to set up for a King, Queen, Twin or Crib sized project.
* Each layer of fabric is held separately so they won't shift as you work.
* A middle rail keeps the layers firmly together to prevent sagging
* The height is adjustable so it is better for your back and the frame is supported by braces underneath without encroaching on leg space.

    I used to quilt all the time, but haven't had the time or space for it for quite awhile. I miss it! I'm a hand quilter, and if I ever get back to it, I'd love to have one of the multiple-rail frames.
