I've actually seen a sewing table that has the machine sitting in it like you just described, turned 90 degrees. I say if it works for you, go for it!

I just tried a handi-quilter at the quilt show that was mounted in a sit down table just as you described. I also tried out a Flynn frame and now am the proud owner of one. I found it worked well for me. You are supposed to be able to purchase relatively cheaply, conduit at the hardware store to extend the frame to use for up to a queen quilt. I can hardly wait to get it set up and try it here at home.

I do like your idea however, how clever.

when I start quilting bigger quilts, I will have to try it out, I have a 9 inch throat on mine. Penny

I just had my husband make a cutout for my machine in my big sewing table. If this 90 degree turn turns out to be the solution for me, he'll have to make a second one!

i can't do that with my machine inside my sewing table.the cut out is not long or wide enough to turn the machine.
but my juki on the frame is that way, so i think it would be a great idea.

Most excellent idea.. to turn the machine.. bravo!!

Great idea. I have the flynn frame and I love it. I now have extensions for the frame to go up to a king size. With my extra conduit I can quilt all sizes now. It makes quilting fun and I always look forward to my next quilting job.

I am glad to hear that you like your Flynn frame. What is the largest you have quilted so far? I can hardly wait to get mine set up so I can try it out. My hubby just got 2 huge wooden library tables that work was throwing away, and I think those with the Flynn would be a great set up. Would love to hear more about your experiences with the Flynn frame as you explore all the possibilities.

What a great idea...I also have a Janome 2010 and have been trying to free motion quilt. Nancy
