Thank you so much for such detailed instructions! This looks like a project for my recently retired dad who loves to play with metal. Maybe both mom and I will get frames!!!

I have to admit I had a hard time envisioning your frame set up before but now that I see that it is just amazing. That is a fabulous set up - could have saved myself a ton of money on my frame lol.

Awesome job on it - You know, he might want to consider putting together kits and selling them online and on ebay. I bet a lot of Flynn users would drool to get ahold of this set up :)

You are right, partially. The lower portion of the frame does not move, that's the part on legs and resting on the table. The machine doesn't move, either. The quilt, on the Flynn frame, sits on the trucks with wheels, that are stacked on each other, so the quilt/Flynn frame and trucks move, side to side, front to back, and in circles.

Ok, I have a question. Does your machine move like a longarm, or, is it just the Flynn Frame that move on the tracks? I think I have it, but, just want to make sure. Thanks again for sharing. Tell your hubby, great job!
