I'm sorry that I don't know anything about that specific frame, but I think I would like it much better than the John Flynn frame, which I had trouble controlling with a large quilt. However, since you use the word longarm, I wonder what your expectations are? Do you have a longarm quilting machine with no frame? If so, you probably should look for a frame that was built for your machine. If you have a domestic sewing machine (DSM) and hope to get longarm capability with this frame, then you will be disappointed. A frame does not turn a DSM into a longarm. A true longarm quilting machine has a throat that is at least 18". This frame is not meant for that type of machine. Using a frame will not give you more throat space. By the time a large quilt is rolled halfway onto the bar under the throat, you might have an inch or two of quilting space.
