In this episode I'm talking with Nathan Erznoznik from Grace Company about longarm quilting frames and the transition from quilting on a home machine to quilting on a frame. I've met many quilters that are curious about longarm machines - how they are different, how they work, how the frame works, and how this makes quilting easier and faster. Grace Company has kindly sent me a Grace Qnique 14+ longarm which I've set up in my Quilty Arrow Table as a sit down longarm.
