I bought the Flynn system in the 90's when I first started quilting. I LOVED that thing, although it was heavy, and akward to use at first, I used 8foot 'rails' made from 2x2 pine so I could do a queen size quilt. It does take some practice, and you still have the same problem of ' throat size' if you use your home machine. I pieced and FMQ 12 quilts on that in a year. I bought a HandiQuilter in early 2001, I didn't like it near as much, since then I've found out the problem is me; I just can't stand to load the quilt on the rails...
