I haven't had mine very long, like any kind of machine quilting it takes practice. ( I am having fun). The frame is very basic, fits right on a table top, so it doesn't take up much room, that was my main thing. It adusts for different sizes of quilts. Your machine sits on a little carrier with wheels. So you just move it around. Right now I am just doing the free motion meandering. But it sure makes it alot easier, because you don't have to hold the quilt
