I have my feed dogs down, use a darning foot, and do the free motion quilting with it. There's lots of videos on utube, where you can see someone doing the free motion. I hadn't ever heard of it before, so it was really helpful seeing someone do it!

Before using this I always had puckers, etc, in my backing. This seems to really help hold it all tight. This does up to 4' wide, and he's getting longer pvc pipes for it, for when I do my 3 sons quilts, which will be wider.

And I've also asked this very same question on here!! :D :D

Hope this helps. It was all totally foreign to me, until I started hearing what all everyone else did, and being able to actually see it.
:D :D

The link to what your hubby made for you is unavailable. Maybe if you can post those pictures again or host them on a different site, it would be great. I would like to see them. Thanks!
