Does some of you work with or have any knowledge about this frame?

Dont waste your money.
It works for baby quilts.
Anything larger it is too hard to handle and you need a big table cause the pcb pipes fall off the table.
With a really big quilt it takes up more room than a regular quilting frame. You will have the whole frame hanging out one end from your sewing machine.

I have one & really like it. I have only quilted 86 inches wide & think that's my max. Of course I have thought about quilting borders & then adding that to the main quilt.

About the pvc falling off the table. I use a pencil taped to the table close to the edge so it doesn't fall off. He suggests doing it on his website. I watched the video numerous times & started with a quilt for my dog, not too big & so what if it's not perfect. Next I quilted a lap quilt for my MIL Wish I had practiced more first but it turned out very pretty. Each one gets easier.

If you hand quilt it works really well. I also like that I can have different sizes of pipe & have several quilts framed up & ready to quilt.

I bought mine used & got it cheap so I might be more flexible about it but there are other threads on her that have a few people who like the frame. More people dislike it than not.
Sorry, that went on forever! LOL

I have one and it's a waste of money.. I used it once and put it away.

Maybe someone might be interested in selling theirs. I would be interested in buying it for the parts if the price was right.
pm me.

I wasn't real happy with mine. Use it once in a while for a wall hanging or baby quilt. Tried it with a twin size and just couldn't work with it. Too bulky.

I have one that someone can have for free.

I bought it at a quilt show last October and haven't even opened it. I have a new Longarm now so want to get rid of it.


PM me and we can make arrangements. :) [i]

Thanks.
I think I will try it as I only make 4 x 4 letter size quilts. I have a 4 m long table, so I hope it will work. Hope one day to get a longarm, but they are very expensive here in Sweden.

Hi Butterflyquilts,
Do you still have the free Flynn quilt frame?
