My machine has, I think, a 9 inch throat. I can easily do a 4 inch area without having to advance the quilt on the "rollers", but that's with the middle one in place, that holds the top and batting not yet quilted. Someone here, who has used the Flynn frame, posted that a quick machine basting, using the Flynn frame on the machine, and then remove the middle rod, allowing for more space to quilt. I've only quilted two so far, both meandering, but they went very fast. I have a queen to do know, and I'm going to try that method so I can do 6 inch motifs in my 6 inch blocks. Should work ok.
ok.... maybe what I nn is the directions on the whole thing in the first place as I am still soooo confused.. lol.... ummmm maybe I just nn to start from the very BEGINNING... i don't know sniff sniff
