That is beautiful. Just wondering how you use a quilt frame with a regular machine? New to quilting.

You can see a video if you follow the link for the frame above. But to summarize: The backing, batting and top are loaded onto the frame (rollers). You do not need to pin or baste. There is a platform that glides left to right on rails. There is a second platform that glides front to back on the first platform. You sewing machine sets on the second platform. So it can move left/right and back/forth.

I can only quilt a small strip of the quilt at a time -- usually 3 to 6 inches -- depending on how much quilt is rolled up on the take up rod. I have to be careful so that one strip and the next overlap a bit so the individual strips don't show on the finished quilt.
