Grace Little Gracie II Quilting Frame

The Little Gracie II is the light-weight, no-baste machine quilting system perfect for any sewing machine with up to an 16" throat that turns your personal sewing machine into a home quilting system. The Little Gracie II is a streamlined version of the original Grace Machine Quilter, and can be set-up in crib (64") or queen (98") size, both included with purchase.



The Grace Little Gracie II Quilting Frame
New Smooth, Seamless Tracking; No Metal on Metal. The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine tracks. With the Little Gracie II your machine rests on two specially designed, sturdy plates that track perfectly with ball-bearing rollers for an incredibly smooth ride. There is no wobbling. These plates allow for up to 11 inches of forward/reverse travel in the work area. The only limit to your reach is your own machine. The carriage accommodates any machine with up to an 16" throat space. It provides enhanced stability and locks your machine in place with four base clamps.



Easy Grip Handles
Free motion quilt from the needle side of the machine...



...Or quilt from the back of the macine to follow patterns.



A Smooth Cushioned Ride
We provide the following for the smoothest, quietest track system you can find: 1)Precision bearing wheels 2) Wobble-Free platforms 3)Seamless plastic tracks that install perfectly straight--No seams or bumps!



Smooth Tracking
The tracks for the bottom plate are engineered specifically for the Little Gracie II 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 fingernails 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 misaligned! With the track being one single length, there is no worry of seams or bumps.



Lock in Your Quilt Tension
The Little Gracie II's 30-tooth ratchet wheels and double-lock stops provide the front-to-back fabric tension.



Includes Fabri-Fast System
This is a no-baste, three-rail system. Our custom designed rails come with the new Fabri-Fast system for fast and easy fabric installation. Simply push your fabric and tubing into the Fabri-Fast slot with the Fabri-fast tool included. Fabric goes in and stays in straight and clean.



Sturdy Design
The Little Gracie II's sturdy design includes table tops ideal for pantographs (pointer included). Aluminum track supports add to the frames robust construction and professional appearance.



Folding Legs
Folding legs make the frame easier to store up against the wall when not in use



Easier Side Tension System
The Little Gracie II comes with four side-tension clamps (two for each side). Simply apply the clamp then pull and secure the bungee cord in the side slot. Fast and easy!
