Grace Company is giving you 20% off all hoop frame accessories through the entire month of May, and here's everything worth adding to your cart.

If you've been quilting for a while, you know that the right accessories can completely transform your experience. Whether you're fighting with uneven tension, struggling to follow a detailed pantograph, or wishing you just had a little more room to work, there's a good chance there's a tool out there that can help. That's exactly why I wanted to put together this guide, to walk you through some of my favorite hoop frame accessories and help you make the most of Grace Company's May sale. Everything I'm covering today is 20% off for the entire month, so this is a great time to pick up something you've been eyeing or try something new.

Stop Struggling with Your Fabric 

If you've been struggling to get the perfect fabric tension or dealing with awkward edges that are hard to reach while quilting, then you're in luck. Several of our most popular accessories that help with this are included in the sale. Cloth Leaders are a great place to start. Available in 88", 136", or by the yard, they let you quilt all the way to the edge of your fabric without wasting excess material. There are several options available, so you can pick the one that best fits your setup.

For those moments when fabric tends to droop at an awkward edge, Bungee Clamps are the answer, honestly, my most-used accessory. They're adjustable and stretchy, so you can always reach that edge and maintain even, consistent tension across your whole quilt.  Every current hand quilting and machine quilting frame from Grace Company has built-in slots for bungee clamps.

Working with thick batting and multiple layers? Add an extra Quilt Clip to your frame for a little added security as you go. With two sizing options, you can find the perfect fit for your frame.

Following Pantographs with Confidence

Table Inserts, the Gracie Laser, and the Pattern Perfect Basic Set are all included in the sale and are great options for anyone wanting to work with pantographs.

The Gracie Laser attaches to your front or rear handles and acts as a laser guide to help you trace along your design as you quilt. Personally, I loved this one because it let me tackle more complex pantographs without having to visualize everything in my head. That said, there is still room for error — so if you want something even more controlled, read on. 

Pattern Perfect lays across your table inserts and comes with a stylus that attaches to the bottom of your machine's carriage. The stylus runs through the grooves of a plastic pattern to physically keep you on track as you stitch. As a beginner, this was a game-changer — you simply cannot veer off course, which made my patterns look far more even and consistent.

Accessories for Your Domestic Machine

Why should your quilting frame get all the attention? Your domestic machine deserves a little upgrade too—and the right accessories can completely change how it performs. Take the SureStitch Elite, for example. This handy accessory is designed to work with domestic machines, helping you achieve more consistent, customizable stitches with far less effort. Instead of relying solely on manual control, the SureStitch Elite gives you precision at your fingertips. One of its standout features is edge warning. This innovation lets you define your stitchable area and alerts you before you go beyond your set boundary so you can quilt with more confidence and make fewer mistakes. The SureStitch Elite also includes helpful tools like a built-in ruler and a calculator, making it easier to plan and execute your designs as you go.

Another great addition to a domestic setup is our Speed Control. Think of it as a smart replacement for your traditional foot pedal. With a simple dial, you can set your ideal sewing speed or use the on/off control to make adjustments without breaking your flow mid-quilt. Together, these accessories turn a standard domestic machine into a more controlled, intuitive quilting setup.

I hope this guide helps you find the accessories that will make the biggest difference in your quilting. Whether you're just starting out or you've been at it for years, there's always something that can make the process a little smoother and more enjoyable. Our May sale is the perfect opportunity to invest in tools that you'll reach for every single time you sit down at your frame.
