Does anyone else have "Ken's" quilting frame system?
I am waiting for mine to arrive..its in at my local post office as of this morning..so not sure it will be delivered today or tomorrow.
I was wondering if anyone else has Ken's quilting frame? Here it is below if you don't know what I'm talking about... Here is is demonstrating it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dbTgcGmQ9PY Here he shows the parts and pricing. http://machine-quilt-frames.blogspot.com/ I can't wait to get it and use it!! |

Wow! It looks amazing! Thanks for posting the photo! I will be very interested to find out how smoothly it works. I have been looking at this one, among others.

So this is a system to use with a "regular" sewing machine not a long arm???

How is everyone else that bought Ken's quilting frame doing???? Are you using it? I am going to put a real quilt on mine next week and quilt it. I did two practice ones and I figure sooner or later I have to jump in and just quilt for "real". The quilt I am going to do I got the blocks from a 1930's reproduction fabric block swap many years ago. So it's time to quilt it. I like the quilt but it isn't a favorite so I am willing to do that one first.
I was wondering how everyone else is doing? |
I do not have the ken's quilting frame. At one time I did have the Handiquilter Frame - which was also designed for domestic sewing machines. I had a Juki 98e (9 in harp) on the frame. I eventually threw away the frame. Even with the Juki, if you are quilting a queen size quilt, by the time you get to the middle of the quilt (or a little farther) you only have a couple of inches of room for quilting because the takeup arm is inside the arm of the machine. So if you were trying to quilt a block design you can not complete the entire design of the block in one pass. I found it to be too limiting.
