Thanks for the input all! I can't imagine not having my quilts somewhat taut on the frame, but I guess it's just what you are used to. I too have the "red snappers" and absolutely love them! Takes no time at all to load a quilt and they are so easy to use!

Awesome use of scraps!

:(I would love the opportunity to roll or float! No long arm.

I didn't know that you could float your quilt tops. Hummmmmmm..... My batting is floating. Do you let your batting float too? I can't tell from the picture. By the way, I love your D9P. It is beautiful!!!

Beautiful quilt. I float some of mine.

Floating a top means you do not attach it to the roller. so it basically "floats", this provides the ability to shift it if needed. However, it has a drawback that it does shift ;)

floating a large top was a disaster for me-way too wonky-I will gladly spend 15 min pinning it on to keep every thing taut together and straight.floating small tops works ok but I still prefer pinning all tops for better results.maybe I am missing something in the details on floating to get a straight top and not a slight parallelogram

Not having a quilting machine I really don't know what floating is but I can tell you this - that's a great scrappy D9P.
