When I retired and started to quilt, I quilted a couple by hand, then I tried quilting by regular machine,never again.I started looking for a quilting machine. I purchased a Mega Quilter with the frame.Not long after I started having trouble. The machine is difficult to thread with a quilt on the frame.The maching leaves jump stitches and you can only quilt 3 to 4 inches before you have to roll the quilt. I guess that was fine for me then but now I guess I have graduated because now I am looking for a long arm to quilt larger areas and designs. Yes I am sorry I purchased the mega quilter.
