Quilter's Evolution Hoop-Frame
Experience complete studio versatility with the Grace Quilter's Evolution Hoop-Frame! Engineered to adapt as your quilting ambitions grow, this 5.5-foot modular frame allows you to quilt crib to king-size projects in a compact footprint using Grace's intuitive zoning method. Easily convert from a hoop frame to a rolling rail system with the included hand-wheel, or expand your frame into a full 8, 10, or 12-foot setup over time using optional upgrade kits. Compatible with home machines, midarms, and longarms up to a 21" throat space, the Evolution Hoop-Frame delivers exceptional fabric tension control, sleek metal ratcheting, and effortless free-motion movement across every layer.
Starts at a space-saving 5.5 feet and can be expanded using upgrade kits and extensions into an 8, 10, or 12-foot rolling rail system.
Quilt any size project using the hoop zoning method or attach the included hand-wheel to transform narrow quilts into a full rolling rail framework instantly.
Supports domestic home machines, midarms, and Grace longarms (16X, 19X, 21X Elite) with throat spaces ranging from 9" to 21".
Features five-star rails, divoted quilt clips, and modernized take-up clamps that hold fabric securely without bulky bungees or manual pin basting.
A Frame That Grows With You
Evolve System Upgradeability
Invest in a frame that grows alongside your quilting skills and space requirements. Starting at approximately 5.5 feet long, the Evolution Hoop-Frame can be converted into a full 8, 10, or 12-foot Quilter's Evolution Elite rolling frame using optional upgrade kits and frame extensions.
Crib to King in a Compact Footprint
Versatile Zoning Quilting Method
Tackle projects ranging from crib to king-size within a compact floor space. By working within the active "quilting zone" under your machine's throat and repositioning fabric to new zones as you complete sections, large quilts become manageable without requiring a full studio-length setup.
Hoop to Rolling Rail in Minutes
Hand-Wheel Take-Up Rail Conversion
Transform your hooping structure into a full rolling rail frame in minutes. Attaching the included hand-wheel to the take-up rail allows you to roll quilt layers continuously for narrower projects, supported by a streamlined, heavy-duty metal ratchet system.
Sit or Stand — Your Choice
Adjustable Leg Height with Leveling Feet
Tailor your quilting environment for optimal comfort whether sitting or standing. Frame legs adjust smoothly from 27" up to 35" tall, while individual leg-leveling feet ensure completely level, vibration-free tracking on both carpet and hard surfaces.
Precision Straight-Line Stitching
Directional Dual-Axis Channel Locks
Maintain pristine straight-line stitching across quilt borders and grids. Engaging the carriage channel locks fixes your machine motion into pure horizontal or vertical lines, preventing unwanted drifting during precision straight-line quilting.
Skip the Pins — Load and Quilt
No-Baste Style Rail Loading
Eliminate hours of tedious hand or pin basting before quilting begins. Simply roll quilt layers directly onto the frame rails using cloth leaders, securing fabric evenly with locking ratchet ends for balanced, shift-free tension.
Fluid Carriage Movement Every Pass
SureTrack Dual-Wheel Track System
Experience fluid carriage movement across your entire quilt area. The SureTrack dual-wheel system allows your sewing machine head to roll effortlessly back and forth along precision tracks, improving stitch consistency and reducing hand fatigue.
Works With the Machine You Already Own
Universal Machine Cross-Compatibility
Pair the frame with your preferred sewing head effortlessly. Accommodating machines up to 21" in throat length, the carriage supports all current Grace longarms (16X, 19X, 21X Elite) as well as domestic home machines under 11.5" wide with drop-feed dog capabilities.
Secure Fabric Without Slipping
Updated Five-Star Rails & Divoted Quilt Clips
Secure fabric layers quickly without slipping or damaging material. Redesigned five-star rails and smooth clips feature matching divots on both sides, allowing clips to slot into rail grooves effortlessly without awkward rounding or forced clipping.
No More Bungees or Needle Snags
Modernized Take-Up Rail Clamps
Eliminate struggles with awkward bungee cords and accidental needle snags. Redesigned back fabric clamps hold rolled fabric bulk directly to the rail, offering a user-friendly clamping action that assists quilters with dexterity or arthritis concerns.
Move Freely in Every Direction
Smooth Free-Motion Gliding Movement
Guide your machine in any direction with complete mechanical responsiveness. The sturdy rigid structure allows effortless movement for stitching loops, arches, geometric straight lines, pantographs, and intricate stippling motifs.
