-
Sturdy, heavy duty anodized aluminum frame
The
HQ Portable Professional, along with the HQ Sixteen Quilting
Machine gives quilters every advantage of a long arm quilting
system. The HQ Portable Professional frame offers
state-of-the-art engineering, top of the line components and a
limited lifetime warranty to back it all up. With the benefits
of a commercial frame, but the option to take it down, who
says you can't have it all... and then put it away when you're
finished.
This frame accommodates all sizes of quilts up to a standard
king size quilt. Continuous track is included for smooth,
flawless movement.
-
Built from sturdy 1/4 inch anodized aluminum, the overall
frame is rigid enough to hold any large quilt.
-
Leaders and poles come preassembled with our Velcro leader
system for fast quilt setup when loading.
-
The
base of the frame features a unique groove for holding the
tracks in place so they are always positioned accurately.
This
frame can easily attach to different lengths of tables with
our simple clamping system. (A 30" wide table is recommended
and should be constructed of wood, or a wood laminate for
extra stability. Tables with lightweight plastic tops are not
recommended.)
Included in the new Portable Professional frame is a 4th pole
which provides additional structural strength to the whole
frame. There is no longer a need to vertically adjust poles as
the bulk of your quilt builds up under the throat of the
machine. This will keep the quilt close to needle plate, while
still allowing for minimum friction with a thick batting. With
the 4th roller, no drag will ever be created on the bed of the
machine.
