as far as easy to use......
yes, setting up the frame and machine is very easy, loading a quilt is very easy, etc.
what is hard is to go from a beginner quilter to a master but that learning curve is always hard regardless of frame quilt or sit down quilting.
i do find frame quilting much easier then sit down quilting because you move the machine, very light weight due to mechanics of the carriage, compared to trying to slide a quilt around when you sit and quilt.
