Interesting. I hadn't heard of this before.
Here's the link:
http://www.easyquilter.com/
It reminds me of the original Handiquilters - very low tech and inexpensive (about the same price of $500). But certainly would have a niche in the market.
Did you play with it at the quilt show? Did it move smoothly?

Way better than Flyn Frame. I played with it at paducah last year and Des Moines, but I knew I was getting a longarm. It moved really smoothg! There was a crowd around me and all I heard was how can she go that fast! LOL then I heard how nice it was to see younger people quilting. :) gave me that warm fuzzy feeling. ;)
I would buy this before the flynn frame. Just my opinion.

I see that they are only offering the 4.1 and 5.1 versions now - those have tracks (the difference is whether or not the throat size of your machine is over/under 8" ).
I'm going to look for this at upcoming shows. I have no desire or interest in acquiring a long arm right now, and this really isn't a huge investment. Plus, it could be packed away in a closet if needed. Maybe I'd get through the pile of 20plus small quilt tops that are just taunting me on a daily basis.
Thanks for posting about it.
