Peabee and nursie in regards to the flynn frame:
I have quilted up to a queen size and have done a lot of twin, crib and lap quilts.
The hardest part of the frame is getting your quilt on the frame, but, after a couple of times using it, that gets easier.
Once I get them set up and ready to go, I can get a queen size quilted in a few hours from start to finished. That includes the set up process. Keep in mind that I am new to MQ so all I am doing so far, are the mindering and swirles.
I tried MQ free motion without the frame and for me, not good at all. I hated all the pile up of the quilt I had to deal with. With the frame, it's tight and I have never had to deal with puckers on the underside.
As for checking your work on the underside of the quilt:
use a mirror to check the underside from time to time.
The only draw back that I have come acorss, is changing the bobbins. I use a brother 1500d, top loader, so when the bobbin runs out, I had to move the frame to one of the ends to replace the bobbin. But, I fixed that problem too. Now I check the bobbin after every pass and replace it before it has time to run out.
Hope this helps with your questions.
