Not sure whether a straight-stitch domestic, a small-space frame, or a true quilting machine is right for you? In this side-by-side demo, we’ll explore three very different quilting experiences: a Juki straight-stitch domestic, the Grace Rebel on a Cutie frame, and the Hummingbird tabletop frame. Jaymi will walk you through how each system handles movement, visibility, stitch control, learning curve, and physical space—plus the surprising strengths (and limitations!) of each style. You’ll also see examples from Jaymi’s early quilting journey, including how she used a Juki on a Grace frame to create large, detailed quilts with a small throat space. Expect clever “small-throat cheat codes,” workflow tips, and honest comparisons to help you confidently choose—or maximize—the setup that fits your quilting life. Perfect for beginners exploring their options and seasoned quilters curious about newer compact frame systems.
