I have John Flynn's first quilt frame he came out with got mine form Nancy's Notions.I only used it once, at that time I didn't have a table the right height to set it and my machine then only had a foot petal control. I had a cutting table but it was to high to sit at and we needed the kitchen table to eat off of or so DH said. LOL. I have the strips on the rods etc. Need to sell mine cheap as I have found a great machine quilter and her charges are reasonable. I can't afford to pay over 300.00 to have a large quilt done. By the time you buy the fabric,batting etc you have almost 500.00 invested in the quilt if quilting runs that high. I live in Missouri and some charge .03 per square inch, so a king or queen is going to run 300.00 or more, my sister in CA only pays half that which suprised me, usually everything is higher there.
