These guys have a left handed rotary cutter. I hope that helps.

Making sure the back is smooth while quilting.

My solution. Cut the strips, sew them on, trim to size. I know that's not as square as if I do it the tedious way, but it keeps me sane so I'm happy

I am with you on this! I machine quilt, and it seems that it takes me longer to do all of this than putting it all together. I keep looking - how many more 'rows' or panels to do :shock:

I used to feel that way, then I got my Flynn system. I quilted a queen size quilt in 7 hours. 7 hours, how crazy fast is that??

Paying for the fabric. This is, of course, completely different from buying fabric.

I hate getting the backing ready. Can never figure out how much to buy. I end up buying way to much or having to piece it when I'm don't buy enough! :thumbdown:

My least favorite is ....hummmmm....thinking, thinkng.

Well, I think it must be the loading on the frame to quilt it. Then doing one small 4" wide band of quilting, then having to roll, then one small 4" wide band, then having to roll....OK, you get the idea. I wish I had a real longarm instead of a midarm. It would go so much faster. That is really my least favorite....oh, wait, maybe....no, right, that's it!!! :-)

But thinking about what I just said, I guess I should really be very thankful I have what I have, so, no, that can't really be my least favorite. So, I don't know what it would be. I really like all of it.

Sandwiching is the hardest part for me.

I hate the cutting out. I really need to be in the mood to cut out any sewing project.

I have a Flynn but have never been able to use it, I get very frustrated, but would like to. Any tips?
