John Flynns Portable Machine Quilting Multi Frame W 48

Multi Frame

I have gotten to the point that hand quilting is to painful. I think this will make finishing my quilts so much easier. I was surprised at how sturdy the poles are, yes they are 48" so will have to think about getting some longer ones for my bigger quilts.. It was very easy to assemble and with my long ruler was able to make the 1" edge and the center marks with ease. So once I finish the Quilt top I am working on now, I will get to quilting the ones that are in my "To have quilted." file. Being able to have the quilt neatly rolled up and easily movable will make working on them much easier. I do know that my technique of quilting will change since I don't have to try and work a Huge quilt rolled up by hand through the neck of my machine. We know how bulky quilts can be when we are trying to role them tight enough to fit in some of our machines so we can quilt the center of the quilt. As for cost, finishing just one quilt will pay for this.Read full review

Quilting area is too small

I have done some free motion quilting but it had some wrinkles on the back that I didn't like so bought the Quilting System. It went together easily and getting it all rolled on the rollers went fine but the space left to quilt is only about 4" so you have to constantly stop and reset everything. The wrinkles on the back are gone but it is taking forever to quilt anything. I will just put up with a few little wrinkles because this method is just too slow for me. Hope you have better luck.

Chasing tubes

Unless you have a large table and a long arm sewing machine it is a struggle to make this thing work. Would not recommend this item. The idea is good and allowing the man to pay his Bill's but say no to the kit it is not worth the struggle.Read full review

Very Happy - Lightweight - Not too hard to learn.

It'll take a little learning on my part, but I'm liking it so far with what little I've done. I think it was well worth the money. and It'll help me learn to know if I want to "go bigger" eventually.
