I never could get the hang of the Flynn system. I was trying to work on the dining table. When I turned my machine sideways on the table so that the frame was parallel to the table, the foot pedal wouldn't reach the floor. It was just one issue after another and probably more to do with me than the frame. Had trouble connecting the extenders to make it big enough to accept a regular quilt, vs wall hanging. The rods came apart while I was trying to get the hang of it. I am a visual person and probably just needed someone to show me how vs reading how.
