Being a quilting newby it's stewpid kweschun time...what is the suspension system for? I mean, how is it helpful?

mcadwell-when you're fmq a quilt, especially a larger one, drag(weight) is your enemy, with the suspension system, you don't have the drag, so consequently you can move the quilt much easier. Please don't be afraid to ask questions, even if you think they're stupid, because they're not.

That makes perfect sense. Thank you for the explanation, I appreciate it.
