I too do not have room for a big quilting frame. nor the money to pay for it....so when a 50% off coupon was available at JoAnns, I took it in and got the plastic frame they had. I know it looks like a lot of PVC piping, but for $50. I could not make one myself. It does take a bit to move my quilt around on it, (not really that much) but it is so much easier than the hoop someone let me borrow and when I am done, I just put it back in the box. So I am a happy camper..

A machine by Bernina. I have spent 2 years trying to get it to sew without braking thread. Customer service just says they can not help and to take it to the dealer. The Dealer says that I need to learn to sew slower. That did not help. I bought a Pfaff and the only time I have to rethread my machine is when I run out of thread.

Yes, I'd like to sell mine as well. I had exactly the same problem as you. The only thing I got out of it was my hopping foot. Kind of a lot to pay for a hopping foot.

The key to making it work is to hold the thread down on both sides while you move the little level. If the eye is not quite right, it will make a click noise to let you know. Adjust the needle and try it again. I have 2 (one at my sewing table and one with my hand sewing stuff). LOVE IT!

templates
I just read your info on templates. You said you go to your window/door store and have them make your specialty template. Do they make them out of glass? Hope that's not a stupid question. I have the worst time cutting templates out on plastic. If there are many pieces, for the quilt, it would be worth it. Thanks Maya
