I have one and use it a lot. It took practice but I'm glad I stuck with it. It's not for fancy machine quilting but it's great for general all over quilting. I know many people buy the frame but give up using it. I kept plugging along thinking this isn't working at all, but a light went off one day of Hey this is how it's done! I use a six foot table with the machine in the middle so I have lots of room on each end. By the way, John Flynn uses YLI machine quilting thread and a Janome machine when demoing at his vendor booth. I use a Brother 1500 and any thread that doesn't break at the time.
