Yes, I have one, and unfortunately found it very difficult to manage or use. So now parts are in the shed and other parts are in a closet. I invested in the larger packages oh 20 years ago or so. It was a struggle from the beginning. Now the problem could have been me. I am left handed and things are backwards for me to understand when it comes to directions. I will give it that but I for one would put your money elsewhere.

I have quilted dozens of small quilts on the one I had. I was frustrated at first and it took a lot of trial and patience to figure it out but when I did it was OH so that's how you do it. If you try a few times and give up then the frame will be in the closet never to be seen again.

If you have good upper body strength, you can do well. Or if you want to develop great upper body and core muscles, it should do that. You are moving the frame and the quilt on it, through the machine.

It glides easy for me, it is on rollers. I think the table set up is the key.
