Moving My Janome 1600 to a Hoop Frame

Published: Wed, 09/09/20

Hi ,

How do you make a sewing machine go faster? Put it on wheels! This week I've moved my Janome 1600 to my Q-Zone Hoop Frame and I absolutely love frame quilting with this speedy machine. See how it works in this new video:

Hoop Frame Sale Extended through September

Grace Company has extended the sale on Q-Zone Hoop Frames and the new PRO Hoop Frame through September!

Standard Hoop Frame - $899.00 - This tiny frame measures only 54 inches wide, but you can quilts of all sizes because it works like a quilting lap hoop. Stitch the area you have hooped, then shift the quilt to the next section. Best of all - you can use your home machine, like the Janome 1600 on this frame! Click Here to learn more.

New Hoop Frame PRO - $1189.00 - This new version of the Hoop Frame is exactly the same size, but it includes three additional accessories:

Dual Carriage Tracks for a smoother quilting experience
Back table inserts so you can quilt pantographs from the back of the frame
Hoop Frame Leader Cloth to help you attach and roll your quilt on the frame

That's it for this week, . Behind the scenes I'm experimenting with Quilt Motion QCT 5 designs and designing a fun fabric panel to quilt in October. We've finally moved the last of the furniture today so be looking forward to the new studio tour sometime next week!

Let's go quilt,
