Hi ,

When it comes to sewing machines, size does matter! This month the Little Rebel, which sports a 13-inch harp space, is on sale for $2429.10 - the best sale of the year 🤩

Is the Little Rebel Right for You?

The Little Rebel is a terrific sewing machine - that's right, it's not a longarm - and it was designed specifically for quilters:

• Wanting more space for machine quilting
• Needing better lighting around the needle and in the arm of the machine
• Wishing to try frame quilting without investing in a huge longarm

If you are wanting to transition to frame quilting, but don't have the budget for a Qnique longarm, the Little Rebel is the way to go! This machine includes the following features that make frame quilting so much easier:

• Stop / Start button included so you can control the machine from the handlebars
• Two options for speed control: stitch regulated and manual mode
• Sturdy spool stand and bobbin winder conviently located on the top of the machine
• Giant M sized bobbins so you can keep quilting longer

I currently have 3 Little Rebel sewing machines - two set up on quilting frames and one set in a sewing table. My favorite setup for my Little Rebel is on a Cutie Breeze Frame:

This is an awesome combination because it doesn't take up much space (59 inches wide x 45 inches deep) and is collapsible if I needed to put it away. I have my frame sitting on this sturdy office table from Amazon, which works well for standing and quilting.

If you're wanting to be able to sit in a chair and quilt on a frame, please consider bundling your Little Rebel with a Q-Zone Hoop Frame. 

This is a great combination because the Q-Zone Hoop Frame's legs are adjustable and can be set low enough for sitting in a chair and quilting. Many quilters have also noticed that the Q-Zone Hoop's back clamps and elastics allow for more space within the frame for quilting.

The only downside with the Q-Zone Hoop Frame is this frame is designed to be set up permanently. This frame actually fits a smaller footprint at 55 inches wide x 45 inches deep and you can attach frame casters and easily roll the frame against a wall and out of the way.

Based on my experience, most quilters who set up a quilting frame tend to leave it up all the time! If you're planning to do this, and you have the space, you might consider an even larger Q-Zone Queen.

Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed? 

Reply to this email and get some help. I'm happy to share my experience with all Grace Company Frames and quilting machines. I'm also not afraid to talk you out of a quilting system if I don't think it's a good fit or if it's not the right time. 

Just last week I encouraged a quilter to wait because her new quilting room was still being renovated. Having lived through that experience myself, I know it feels good in the moment to buy the equipment, but the reality of trying to finish a room renovation around heavy boxes - it's just no fun!
