I have been using the Cutie frame & new Cutie Breeze for almost 4 years and have a Juki TL2010 as dedicated machine. My quilting area is appoximately 33" by 6". I chose the Cutie because I need to be able to move a few times a year. You will get used to repositioning your quilt and it only takes me 2 minutes or less to set up for next quilting area. And storing the frame & machine when not in use takes up very little space. Mine is behind a chair in DH's office room in space about 3 1/2 ft x 2 ft. The best thing for me is that my shoulders don't hurt from pushing quilt under my machine. The largest quilt I have done so far was a full size but I do have a couple of king/queen size in the ready to go pile. I have used FMQ, rulers, stencils and pantographs and some thread painting on some panels. I would suggest if you are considering a mini frame or the larger Cutie you try one at a quilt store or show if possible and view YouTube videos on using the frames. Grace has some great ones and Bonnie Kempke's Quilting on a Thread and Leah Day.
