I used one several years ago for awhile. I wanted to FMQ but it just didnt 'work' for me so I tried the JF frame. I honestly found it unwieldy and the quilting space/strip quite small and it gets even smaller as you go along because the rolled up quilt gets bigger. I suppose I had never realized that before. That said, it was the perfect inexpensive "next step" for me -- I gained confidence and skill and am now back to FMQing w/o a frame with pretty good results.
