I didn't have a problem getting the quilt on the frame, but I watched the video, paused it, installed it along with her and found it easy (although I took notes so that I wouldn't have to watch the dvd each time).

My problem was figuring out how to hook up sure stitch and speed control (now that took a while).

Sherry, DH is Dear Husband
DD is Dear Daughter, etc.
Ask when you don't know something....I figured it out but sometimes something will throw me, also.

Also, someone said this machine is on sale now?? If so, where? Or was it the frame on sale now? I've been interested in the Juki. The girl who does the 365 days of blogging has one...Leah Day. She loves hers and is quite good with it but I think some people could use an old antique Singer and do free motion quilting with it. I have had to practice and practice and my tension still isn't what it should be on the bobbin. Wonder if I had a different machine it would look better. I plan to try one in the store before buying.

You're so lucky! How wonderful! What a great DH! He's a keeper!
Kind Regards,

Congrats, my hubby helped me pay for mine. I get so much joy in teaching my granddaughters to play with it. Even have a friend who comes over to quilt on mine. I do hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine.

Now, if I just didn't have to work everything would be perfect. Do hope you are having a fantastic time. Do post some photos of your work so we can all enjoy with you.

I don't feel so bad now that I see someone else had to position their quilting table sideways to get it to fit in the room. LOL I'm intimadated by my new set up also!
