I just have a Grace Mini Pinn frame, set up quilt size, & yes, it does take time to load, but worth it! I do it in sections, as in taking my time. I load the quilt, then come back when I feel I am ready to quilt the quilt, & I may not do the whole quilt at one time. So, if you break it down, & do it all in sections, it's not so bad, & so much easier than just fighting it on your regular sewing machine otherwise... Remember, you can always walk away from it & leave it all set for awhile, then come back to it later, when you feel like it....
