    Got my Grace mini quilter just after Christmas. Learning curve for sure but I really like it. Beats FMQ on a table! Almost done with my first quilt using the frame. Will post a picture after it's done!

    Default First quilt on the mini quilter

    Lot of mistakes but I'm pretty proud of it. It's going to a friend in Greece. I did a meander for the main and then fmq'd pomegranates in the border.

    I am curious about the mini quilter. Does it have a limit on quilt size?
    Your quilt is beautiful!

    You have a new setup, but you’re fmq Pomegranates? I love it!

    And they look good, too!

    I found that the mini quilter is great for managing a quilt sandwich, the thing is that you only have about a 6 x12 inch quilt area so you do have to rehoop a lot. But that is pretty easy and it beats the heck out of stopping and starting to rearrange your sandwich, plus yanking it around under your machine!
