John Flynn quilting frame
 

Anyone have or use a JF quilting frame? If so, pros and cons. Would you buy it again?

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 heard they are very hard to manipulate. I don't know anyone in particular that has one but I just heard ladies talking at a quilt show I had gone to.

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.

You might want to search the board as well, There gave been numerous prior discussions of the Flynn frame/equipment.

Thanks to all responses. Since I've not read any threads on this, I never thought to check prior threads. Thanks for that info as well.

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