I just can't believe how nice it is to have the king frame and 17" machine. I work two jobs so don't have a whole lot of time, but for the couple small size quilts I have practiced on from willing friends, I was so amazed the very first time when I took it off and looked at the back of it, how nice it was. No wrinkles, just so nice. Mindless meandering is all I am comfortable with for now. Need to buy other toys for it to venture beyond my comfort zone. I love this Board. I know it will be a daily visit for sure.
