INCLUDED! Grace Continuum Machine Quilting Frame
For over 30 years, the Grace Company has produced some of the finest machine–quilting frames available. Now the Continuum combines some of the most sought after features into a modular system that’s available for quilters of every level and nearly every sewing machine type.
With steel and cast–alloy components, the frame is one of the sturdiest and longest–lasting frames ever designed. This modular frame has many available configurations and accessories. This is a no–baste frame designed to make your quilting projects easier, more convenient, and more beautiful.
Note: The included frame is the standard 8 foot. The 10 foot size is also available! Choose the 10' Continuum Frame from the dropdown before checkout.
Configured to meet your needs
The Continuum Frame can be configured in multiple set–ups and optional accessories, so it will be the perfect fit for you no matter what your quilting requires. Think you might upgrade your machine to a longarm in the future? The Continuum frame can work with your short or midarm machine now, and then be adjusted for a longarm when you need it. Add the optional accessories now or later to make your quilting process more convenient.
Note: Choose add-ons in the dropdowns before checkout.
The Continuum Quilting Frame saves you valuable time by eliminating the ordeal of basting. All the quilt layers are attached to their own rails, and then come together and on to the take–up rail as you quilt. Grace frames use locking ratchet ends on the rails to give you precise control over the tension of your fabric layers.
Continuum Frame Features
SURETRACK DUAL–WHEEL SYSTEM
This smooth gliding track system enhances stitch quality, accuracy, and carriage motion.
CHANNEL LOCKS
Conveniently lock your machine motion into either back and forth, or side to side motion. Perfect for straight lines.
LEVELING FEET
No matter what floor your frame is on, these feet are an easy way to make sure it's level and balanced.
ADJUSTABLE DEPTH
Adjust the depth of your work area to match your quilting frame. Get closer when working on short–arm quilting machine, or expand your space for larger patterns with a long–arm.
HEIGHT–ADJUSTABLE LEGS
Height–adjustable legs let you work at the level that is most comfortable to you.
HAND–WHEEL
Conveniently roll all the layers of your quilt with the take–up rail hand–wheel. This advances the fabric to the next section of your project for quilting.
Specifications
The Maximum Quilt Area on a machine frame is the total distance your machine needle can travel from one end of the frame to the other. This measurement may vary slightly depending on your machine.
You will be able to quilt an area at least as big as quoted in this maximum quilt area.
Rail Diameter
1½ inches
Maximum Machine Throat Size
21 inches
10 foot King Continuum Frame optional
Maximum Quilt Area
King: 103"
Crib: 43"
8 foot Queen Continuum Frame included
Maximum Quilt Area
Queen: 79"
Crib: 31"
Optional Accessories for Your Continuum Frame
Batting Rail
The batting rail (or fourth rail) accessory is a convenient way to manage and hold your batting layer. Keep your batting organized and off the floor by rolling it on this rail.
Get an extra 2 feet of quilting area out of your Continuum quilting frame with this extension kit. This will work with both the 10 foot frame and the 8 foot frame, extending them to 12 or 10 feet respectively. Extending your quilting frame lets you quilt larger projects. This kit comes with a leg assembly, table, rails, and the hardware necessary to extend your quilting frame.
This convenient accessory eliminates the need to constantly stop and adjust your take–up rail. The more you quilt, the more space is taken up on the take–up rail in the throat of your machine. This normally means you have to watch your space closely, and adjust the take–up rail higher when the quilt fabric starts rubbing between it and your machine. This idler rail solves that problem by letting the fabric collect on the take up–rail at a higher position, so you don't need worry about adjusting your take–up rail anymore!
Note: The idler rail accessory will only work with longarm or midarm quilting machines that have a larger throat space.
The modular design of the Continuum quilting frame lets you use it with many different quilting machines! The frame has an adjustable depth, so you can change the work–space and quilt comfortably with a long–arm or a domestic short–arm machine. When you order the Continuum frame for use with a short–arm machine, an top–carriage with handles will be provided, as well as a speed–control. Call Toll Free: 800-401-8151 to ask about using the Continuum Frame with other quilting machine models.

My King Quilter arrived a few days after the Phoenix Frame arrived and what a beauty! It took a little while to get the frame together but we finally finished it. Then my new King Quilter 18x8 arrived and I was so excited to get it put together and voila! I finished two quilts so far, and it sews beautifully! Thanks to the people at SewingMachinesPlus, they made it possible for me to buy this beautiful machine. I would recommend this company and this machine to all my quilting friends and others as well.

King Machine
Wonderful machine to quilt with. Easy to learn different modes. Easy to set up the 4 buttons and reset if you decide to change them.The frame and machine work so well together. If you don't have the extension table for ruler work I recommend you get it. Wonderful smooth movements.

My Dream Machine
I have only received my quilt frame so far and I am eagerly waiting for the machine to arrive. As far as the frame goes I think it is a good quality frame . I had difficulty getting the rails to snap in to their places but with the help of my husband we finally got it done. I will write a review on the machine later. Jean
