Default Found a new toy (I think)

Just started making quilts for local church donation group. I really hate to baste, pin, etc. Because I'm only making lap/small quilts when I saw this advertised and I ordered it right away. (Can't afford a long arm) It should be here this week.
Not sure my current Brother has a large enough "throat" to work. Has anyone tried this frame? I'll let you know how it works out.

It really looks cool. I would love to try it.. I just don't want to buy it Please let us know how it goes as it does look like it would be easier than dealing with all of the squishing and mushing that I do

Try searching on the Flynn frame in our search box. I think we have discussed it several times.

I used one for many years for small quilts. It takes practice but once you get the hang of it, it will be fun and easy. I think too many gave up after the first few tries and said it was a waste of money. I had mine set up in the middle of two folding banquet tables end to end. I liked a lot of room but it isn't necessary.

Thank you for your support. I can't wait to try it out.

He invented this product over 20 years ago. I believe he has made recent changes to his original concept. I wasn't impressed with the width of the roller. There will be the learning curve of mounting the quilt correctly onto the frame. If you ever attend a major show, he will usually be there to demo his product.

They take a lot of practice but they do work good. I have one that I never use since I got my Mega Quilter years ago. I'm just going to sell mine one of these days since I don't use it anymore

Post back here how you like it. I've followed other conversations about it, and have thought about buying one. Good luck with it! :-)
