The Pro Frame

The commercial quality INNOVA Pro-Frame is designed to maximize efficiency and ease of use. It comes with rigid 2" diameter stainless steel fabric poles, Innova’s unique infinitely adjusting EZ Lock brake system, laminated table tops, and two side clamps with tensioning bands. The gas-assisted top fabric pole lifting system provides easy access to straighten and inspect batting. This feature is critical to the discerning quilter. The Pro-Frame has INNOVA's unique fabric take-up compensator that eliminates the need for raising and lowering as the quilt take up roll increases in diameter.

The frame is designed with plenty of free space below the front lifting bar which allows the quilter to sit com-fortably at theINNOVA if desired. The INNOVA Pro Frame stationary compensator roller maintains a perfectly level quilting bed and ensures your quality stitches. The EZ Lock roller system allows for infinite adjustment of fabric tension, which is critical for stitching reliability. Two nylon side tension clamps with adjustment straps are also included.

The INNOVA Pro Frame includes high quality canvas leaders and sturdy 3/4” laminated table tops which are perfect for placing pantographs, or when your longarm is not in use they can double as a sewing or cutting table. The INNOVA Pro Frame has six adjustable self leveling legs and perforated extensions, so it can be adjusted up to 13” to accommodate your desired quilting height. Its unique modular construction allows for the addition of accessories at any time. Feel free to customize your frame with our many available options.

Additional Information on INNOVA Longarm Machines

  • Both front and rear handle bars with start/stop controls, along with half stitch button and a selectable needle stop (up/dn) position.

  • A rotary thread tensioner, and adjustable spring loaded hopping foot that automatically compensates for inconsistencies in your fiber fill or for extra heavy seam allowances which minimizes thread breaks and skipping.

  • Comes standard with a laser and mechanical stylus, as well as a fabulous adjustable fluorescent work lamp which allows for incomparable visibility of your work surface.

  • The ABM INNOVA is very lightweight, well balanced, and includes Pro-Glider composite non-marking wheels for effortless and complete control of the sewhead reducing user fatigue and increasing design accuracy.

  • Comes standard with a style "M" large capacity hook for fewer bobbin changes and includes extra needles, bobbins, a tool kit, dust cover, and stand alone bobbin winder with auto shut off and speed control.

  • M Series has a 4000 stitch per minute one horse motor. This allows for faster more efficient quilting and better stitch regulation. The strong motor is capable of piercing multiple layer seam allowances without stalling, and coupled with the patented hopping foot, it easily accommodates the bulk found in the most difficult areas of your quilt.

  • The largest driveshaft’s of any longarm quilting machine on the market today, supported by sealed ball bearings eliminating the need for oiling or greasing the upper end of the machine keeping your quilts clean. Many of our competitors use bushings instead of ball bearings and they are in constant need of greasing and rebuilding. The only maintenance your Innova requires is general cleaning of thread lint buildup and regular lubricating of the hook race in the bobbin area of your machine

Benefits of Buying from Ready Set Quilt

Innova has been our choice longarm since we opened.  We have not sold any other brand.   We feel it is the best machine on the market and want everyone to have what they need to be a successful quilter.

​

As a Platinum Dealer, we provide local service at a reduced cost, you do not have to go through Houston.  Appointments are scheduled timely, with no long waiting periods.  We also cover So Much Love Quilt Shop in Granbury Texas and The Enchanted Quilt Shop in Wichita Falls Texas.

 

We are knowledgeable, friendly and can answer questions to help troubleshoot issues.as well as any general questions you may have about quilting. 

​

In addition to INNOVA 365/24/7 coverage, we are also available.  Since we know you, we are able to help you easier.

​

When buying a new machine:

  • we can give you the BEST deal. We are able to take trade-ins and make offers that only Platinum dealers can do.  Feel free to bring in any quote, even on an INNOVA and see what we can do.  You will be delightfully surprised. 

  • we want to make sure you have everything you need to get started.  In addition to what INNOVA provides, you will get things such as batting, thread, extra bobbins, needles, spa treatments and other things at no charge to you.

  • you can get your education on the machine and functions available all at one time or you can schedule multiple sessions at the shop when it is convenient.  This gives you time to absorb the information and practice between sessions.  You will still get some initial education at installation in your home. 

  • we provide support should your machine be down for any amount of time.
