Pam, good answer. I am starting my 2nd quilt on the frame and I intend to do just that. The practice piece I did the hard way. But I had decided it was no big problem to get the quilt back on the fame turned one quarter turn. It is must easier to do the border as a whole piece, rather than in sections.
Anyone with a frame should not need to take their quilt to the machine and do more stitching. The reason I bought the frame was to do away with the machine quilting and all the tugging and pulling of the quilt.
I suggest anyone who has questions about using the frame/machine combo, ask on this forum and other forums to learn how best to use it. Also, phone the company where you bought your equipment and tell them what you are wanting help with. You paid them for service as well as the product.
