The Mini Pinni features smooth, seamless tracking; no metal on metal. The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine tracks. With the Mini Pinni, your machine rests on two sturdy, specially-designed 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 13" throat space. It provides enhanced stability and locks your machine in place with four base clamps.

Easy Grip Handles

Easy-grip handles allow quilting from both sides of the frame.

Smooth Cushioned Ride

The Mini Pinni has 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 Mini Pinni out of ABS plastic. Grace experimented with several different combinations of material, including metal tracking, but found the feel of metal-on-metal to be 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. You never have to worry about them being mis-aligned! And with the track being one single length, there is no worry of seams or bumps.

Easy Side Tension

The Mini Pinni 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!

Fabri-Fast Rails Included

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 Mini Pinni's sturdy design includes table tops ideal for pantographs. Aluminum track supports add to the frames robust construction and professional appearance.

Maximum Stability

The frame has an angled leg design to maximize stability. Customized components include reinforced thermoplastic rail uprights, rigid steel and aluminum supports and matte-finished table surfaces.

Professional Rail System

The easy-in, easy-out rails install with ease, and roll using a high-precision ratcheting system. Advance and reverse your quilt with the simple flip of a switch.
