the only limitation i have is not with the frame but with my sewing machine.
the throat on my sewing machine is about 6.5 inches - i would prefer to have a 9 inch throat machine.
i use the flynn to quilt my "all over" or "background" designs and i'm able to use needle down and advance the quilt to the next section. so its not as limiting as you'd think.
then i take the quilt off the flynn frame and do the more complex designs that don't work well on the flynn - like a 12 inch feathered wreath for example.
i haven't mastered how to do a large feather on the flynn with the small throat that i have - its just easy to do it free motion on my extension table.
i'm extremely happy with the purchase.
