(More customer reviews)The Little Gracie II Machine Quilting Frame is a marvelous, sturdy, easy to construct frame for home machine quilting. It takes time and patience but all parts are clearly labeled and it comes with both a guidebook and a DVD. Watch the DVD first to get a great overview. Now, The Janome part is another story: It is advertised in this package as the machine to use for quilting on this frame, which needs major clarification. It does not have a feed dog lowering feature so extra parts are needed which should come with the machine in order to make it work. There was only a straight foot and a hemmer in the Janome package (figure those for free form machine quilting??). The Janome site is not clear in reference to support; in fact when contacting them they told me to go to a local dealer. There are no other guidelines for use other than the basic plug it in, thread it booklet, no accessories information, etc. I would buy the Little Gracie II by itself and find myself another long-arm quilting machine if I had it to do over for purchase. However, the support from Amazon has been great in helping me obtain the foot needed to make this system work as it should have as advertised.
