Can you tell I don't know much about it??? :)
Great hubby to help you :D:D:D

Yup, that's my Husqvarna Sapphire sitting on the table. The lower portion of the frame (the tracks) rests on the table and it's end legs. There are two trucks(?) per side. One moves from side to side on the frame, and has rails on it's top. The other moves ahead and back, riding the rails of the lower truck. I can get good circular motion with it, have to pratice to see if I can pebble stuff.

Can your husband post instructions on how he did this? I'd love to have my hubby make one.

I'll try to get the info together for you, with some closeups of the parts.

Looking good and you must have a super DH. If anyone else wants to try this I have a Flynn Frame for sale very reasonably.[PM me] Has headers and all to start quilting. Mary
