Same Great Frame, New Updated Carriage!
The professional carriage construction enhances stitch quality, accuracy, and improves the carriage motion. The carriage also includes precision bearings, back and front comfort grips, and accessory holes and mounts. The handle location allows for easy access to the machine and thread. Machine base clamps are also included to hold your machine firmly in place.
The wooden carriage is still available in place of the professional series carriage upon request. The wooden carriage is required for sewing machines not compatible with the speed control.
Smooth, seamless tracking without metal-on-metal. The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine tracks. With the GMQ-Pro, 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 16 inches of forward/reverse travel in the work area. The only limit to your reach is your own machine.
Easy Grip Handles
Free-Motion quilt from the needle side of the machine....
....Or quilt from the back of the machine to follow patterns.
A Smooth, Cushioned Ride
With precision-bearing steel wheels, wobble-free platforms and seamless plastic tracks that install perfectly straight without seams or bumps, Grace provides the smoothest, quietest track system you can find.
The tracks for the bottom plate are engineered specifically for the GMQ-Pro out of ABS plastic. 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.
Pivoting Rails
Inspect your stitches and get easy access to change your bobbin with the easy-lift rail mount system. The bottom two rails lift up, out of the way, while preserving the tension in your work.
Sturdy Design
The GMQ-Pro's sturdy design includes table tops ideal for pantographs. Aluminum track supports add to the frame's robust construction and professional appearance.
