Bought one and never used it!

bought one frrom nancys notion when on sale. Love the way it stores in it box that it came in and doesn't take alot of room to store. I use my kitchen table that has 2 leafs in it so I have plenty of room. I saw one at a quilt show and loved it cause I can sit and work cause I can't stand so long. Also my arms are down cause I can't hold them up to the handles on the LA. I am new at it so need alot more practice of course as anyone starting out. But I am not in any way artistic so I am more comfortable marking the quilt. So far I like stippling but need to not go over the lines sometime. Also found I have a couple of rice packs that a friend made me you put in the microwave for aches and pains works great instead of the beans. I also used the warm and natural batting to learn cause It has a lower loft to it. Any way it fits what my needs are so I am happy with it. if you decide to get one I hope you enjoy it too.have fun.

I seen thisw and some day would LOVE to afford to buy one. keeping my fingers crossed to win a small lottery. it would be the first thing I would buy

I bought a used one from lady here on board from Oregon --never was able to get back to her.
It was the older version -I now know but I did use it for 3 quilts. Bought longer wood pieces but still
can not do quilt over 54 ". Set up time is long -similar to a long arm process. I did a demo at my
quilt group and some ladies said it changed there mind because they realize they wouldn't be able to
handle it. Concept is good. I made 2 tops ahead to do. Next time I would make 6 small tops ahead.
Free motion is easy enough but I found doing anything more than waves is very challenging. I did not
mark my tops with a marker because I needed to control the quilt as it was going thru the machine .
You need lots of practise to ever do fancy. Easy to store but I left it in Fl for next season. You do
need more room than you think because it goes left & right the full length of the frame.

I too bought one from Nancy's when it was on sale but have never used it. Mostly because I work too much and can't quilt more than an hour at a time so didn't want it laying around in someone's way. LOL Keeping it for retirement.
