Little Gracie II Quilting Frame, Janome 1600P-DB High Speed Sewing Machine w/ Heavy-duty Darning Foot & Plate

Janome 1600P-DB Long-arm High-Speed Sewing Machine

The 1600P-DB high speed sewing machine has the DB needle. Like the other 1600 Professional machines, it sews a straight stitch at 1,600 stitches per minute, the fastest on the market. From the new "Liquid Response" foot control to the pre-tension system, everything on this machine is built for high quality stitches at professional speeds. But while it gives you the performance of an industrial machine, it also gives you the quiet operation and sleek design of a Janome.

An extra large 9" x 5" work area gives you room for the largest projects. A knee lift lets you raise the presser foot while keeping your hands on your work. An independent motor allows you to wind bobbins while you're sewing. And 10.5 lbs. of presser foot pressure ensures that your layers of fabric won't shift, making it the ideal quilting machine.

Comes with FREE heavy-duty darning foot and plate!

	Smooth, seamless tracking without the harshness of metal-on-metal. The key to the entire system is how the sewing machine rides on the tracks. With the Little Gracie II, your machine rests on two specially designed, sturdy 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 16" of throat space. It provides enhanced stability and locks your machine in place with four base clamps.

	A Smooth, Cushioned Ride The tracks for the bottom plate are engineered specifically for the Little Gracie II out of ABS plastic. The steel wheels smoothly glide over the plastic with a minimum of noise. 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 misaligned! With the track being one single length, there is no worry of seams or bumps.
	Locked-in Quilt Tension The Little Gracie II's 30-tooth ratchet wheels and double-lock stops provide the front-to-back fabric tension.
