Grace Gracie King Machine Quilter with 4th Rail, QuiltCad Pattern Software and Bungee Clamps Now Included

Product Description

Introducing The New Gracie King No-Baste Machine Quilter:

The Grace Company, makers of fine hand quilting products, have now developed the Gracie King, the perfect frame for machine quilters: The all-inclusive quilting machine system! The Gracie King is ideal for any home sewing machine (even mid-arm or long-arm machines up to 18" throat space), the carriage rides along seamless tracking for no-bump machine traveling.

Rail extensions (included) take the frame out to king (122"), queen size (87"), or you may set it up in crib (57").

Overall dimensions of frame are 40" deep and 135" wide.

Quilt on Either Side of the Frame:

The metal carriage with easy-grip handles allows quilting from both sides of the frame.

New Smooth, Seamless Tracking No Metal on Metal:

The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine tracks. With the Gracie King 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 20 inches of forward/reverse travel in the work area. The only limit to your reach is your own machine.

We provide the following for the smoothest, quietest track system you can find:

Precision bearing wheels
Wobble-Free platforms
Seamless plastic tracks that install perfectly straight--No seams or bumps!

The tracks for the bottom plate are engineered specifically for the Gracie King 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 mis-aligned! With the track being one single length, there is no worry of seams or bumps.

Excellent Tension Control:

Front to back tension is controlled with three high-precision 30-tooth 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.

Easy and Accurate Fabric Installation:

This is a no-baste, four-rail system. The 2" diameter aluminum custom designed rails come with the new Grace 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. - No tape needed!

Added Stability:

The Gracie King has height-adjustable legs allowing you work at your ideal level and the leveling feet make sure that the frame is perfect in balance for a great quilting experience.

New Pivoting Rails:

Inspect your stitches and get easy access to change your bobbin with our new easy-lift rail mount system. The bottom two rails lift up, out of the way, while preserving the tension in your work area.

Easier Side Tension System:

The Gracie King 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!

Fourth Rail Included!:

The extra rail holds the batting up off the floor allowing it to roll freely into your work area.

Warranty:

The Gracie King No-Baste Quilter carries a five year limited warranty against breakage or warping.

With sturdy Aluminum Plywood Construction, the Gracie King is Overbuilt and Under-Priced.
