There is a lot of information on here about the Flynn frame. I have one and have used it a few times. There is a large learning curve(at least for me) , but it does eliminate tucks on the back. It dpes take up space to manuever the frame also. Eventually i would like my Dh to build a machine dolly for me sewing machine to ride on and the flynn frame is stationary- then it would be more like a mid arm machine system. A couple of clever people on this board have designed and shared directions here. They can probably be found in archives or using search. Good luck with your frame and dont give up until you've given time.
