We love ours also, we have Lizzie stitch which allows you to copy a design, say a rose on the fabric and use it to sew out your quilt, It has horo. & vert. channel locks so important. The frame is so stable and looks so nice. It uses heavy pipes so there is no give like those telescoping poles have. It is just awesome...
