After reading all the posts about mid-arm and long arm quilting, I don't think I would ever learn to use one. I't too old or lazy to learn all that stuff. Guess I'll just stick with my regular machine.

I haven't given up. I think I am just waiting fort the right day to get in there and tackle it. Funny I have felt this way about the frame because most of the time I am ready to take on something. I bought this frame to hopefully help on my body. I am so sure it would be easier to quilt on the frame so I am just holding myself back with this silly idea of it is too challenging.

Hmm, I didn't give up so much as I never really got started :oops: I absolutely lusted after a frame ... wanted one sooo bad .... was blessed enough to have one given to me ... couldn't wait to get it put together and I did it myself because I was too impatient to wait for DH ... put my regular machine on it and practiced a bit. It was fun BUT with that machine on the frame I didn't have anything to piece with :cry: and I was going thru withdrawal so I took the machine off the frame so I could piece and hmmm, several months later it makes a really good spot to hang stuff to dry :roll: or to sort fabric on it. I told DH that I planned to save my Christmas money to buy a 9" machine to put on the frame so maybe next year :lol:

Marty is what I named my little gracie II frame (my husband has an evil bird named gracie so I had to change it's name) Marty was my grandfather's name and he was always making me strive for more so I thougth it fitting to name the frame after him :)
