Hi Bonnie, I just got the Cutie tabletop frame and I’m planning on using my Jazz II sewing machine. Can I ask which top carriage you are using please, as I’m hoping to upgrade. This video was so helpful, thank-you.
Hi Bonnie...I found your video because I purchased the Grace speed controller for my Jazz II, which I have on a Cutie Frame, and was searching for some information on it. I set it all up and am having problems with my tension. When I set the knob on the controller to higher speeds, I get a bunch of eyelashes on the back of my quilt. Any suggestions please?
I never used the Speed Controller on the Jazz II, but did on the Allegro. I do know that you cannot go all out on speed. This is not specific to these two machines. I also have to moderate speed on all of my long arms.... Stitch length and speed tolerance is often very user specific. If you move too fast for the tolerance of the setup, you will get lashing.
Interesting information! I am new to quilting on a hoop. I just bought a Cutie. My current machine has a fairly small throat so I’ve been looking at the Jazz 2 but was discouraged that Grace didn’t have a stitch regulator… The other thing I was concerned about was the bulky front of the Jazz 2 and how well I could see the needle. You have introduced some creative and well thought solutions! Thank you! New subscriber. 😊
So glad I found you! This is exactly the machine and frame I am planning to purchase!
It's a great combination. I have several frame set ups and this is by far my favorite machine from a price-point.
Lots of good tips!

This is the Cutie Breeze and the upper carriage on the frame is the upper carriage that came with the frame.
Where can I find information about Cutie quilt group ?
The link is in my channel description, but to save you time ....

Thank you so much for getting back to me so soon. 😊. I guess I'll have to play with it and see if I can figure out the issue. Wish me luck 😂
Very helpful information. Thanks. Where can the bridge (caddy) be purchased?
The "bridge" is part of the upper carriage for the Cutie Breeze.
