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! :-)
