The limited work space was what I found difficult. I also had a Flynn Frame but never even took it out of the box to try it. It seemed like I'd need lots of space for the plastic tubes in order to accommodate the larger quilts I wanted to do. Some have used the Fab U Motion and/or the Flynn Frame with good results. What works for some doesn't work for others.
