Hi, Now that I've had the Flynn frame a little while I can give a better
responce to this subject. The frame is great for the sole purpose there
is no basting but it is not without areas of concern. You'll be quilting along
and the pvc will suddenly stop (maybe on a piece of dust?) or move really quickly which messes you up. I have no problem with thread breakage unless I'm quilting from right to left. For some reason it breaks a lot then, I must be doing something different but I don't know what. I think the best way to describe how you use this frame is this:
Sit down to write a letter, instead of moving the pen, move the paper.
I think that says it all.
