The machine moves and the frame is stationary. The drawer slide lets the machine move back and forth and the rollers move it side to side so you can do swirls and other FMQ.

Thanks cjk for clearing that up for me. I'm going to show this to my DH and maybe he can make one for me. Great idea, btw.

Hi, Before this thread gets too long, go under your file area, usually top left corner and click print preview, then look at preview to see if it includes the info you want. If so then hit print and you will get what you see. (This instruction is for a windows based computer) :D

Thanks

My machine has a 6.5" throat. I'm still test driving it so I'm not sure how big a quilt it will do but when I find out I'll let you know.

Thank you. I'm anxious to see how big a quilt it will quilt.

usnchiefgloria brought it to my attenion that I forgot something. She noticed the pattern I had on the table and asked how I followed it. Well this is just a temp but I glued a piece of wood to the undside of the carrage (the part that moves) and then rubberbanded a piece of a chopstick to it. I'm going to try and find a lazer pin light to attach but right now I'm practing on my FMQ. Sorry about the omission.
