Has anyone ever used the handi quilter?

MzMcKee

are you asking about the frame or the machine? I have the frame.

Is that for hand quilting?

The frame, it goes with what ever machine you have to use with it.

I have the Handi Quilter II frame. What do you want to know?

I have one but never got it put up. I bought it to go with my Janemo and have the handles for speed control. I was wondering if it works or is it a peice of junk

It’s a portable frame which means it might not be a sturdy as a permanent set up. If you intend put it up and tear it down with each use it will do the job. You won’t be able to do large heavy projects, but it is a decent frame for what it was designed for.

I love my frame, the price was right and it fit what I needed it for. I’ve had it for over 5 years. I have in this time re-configured it to be a permeate set up. I extended the poles, added extra supports and build a rollaway table.

What kind of table did you use? And what is a roll away table? Do you do any queen and King sign quilts on it.

I believe out of the box it can be set up on a 4ft, 6ft, and or 8ft table. Like the conference tables at office stores. My husband built me a 12ft table (see my photo in my last post) and put wheels on it so I can roll it where ever I need to. On my set up I can quilt up to a king size quilt.
