I have a Bailey 13" mid arm home quilter with a Grace frame. My goodness, it does not take me that long to load up my frame. I can do it all in about 45 minutes....if I stay there and do it in one session. I have found that I don't need pins so close they are touching, and I lay the batting on in a fairly straight line, and pin the quilt top in place after rolling it on a pole. Nope, these are quick and easy. No fussy stuff here for me!
