Does anyone have one of these?
They used to be expensive but the price is coming down and they make a larger size now. I worry about doing a large quilt with one. What kind of problems do you have with it? |
What is a fabric mover. I have all kinds of pictures in my head (like a front loader to move my stash ) but I bet I'm not right. :-) :-) :-)

It is a metal stand that attaches to your machine.
It moves the fabric under the needle for free motion quilting. You actually move the frame around as you quilt in a square cutout. Hard to explain. |
Rose Marie,
Do you have a picture of one of these? |
Is this something like a Flynn Frame, ala John Flynn??

Rose Marie -
Are you asking about the Viking and/or Pfaff stitch regulator and "table"? Although I do not have one personally, I worked at Viking Shop inside a JoAnns for almost two years and we had them on the floor. I did a lot of small stuff for the shop on it (Demos and samples) and really liked it. I am not sure you could do a queen size quilt on it but many of our customers did baby quilts and projects on it and liked them. |
Betty, I'm glad you clarified that. I have hesitated to puchase a fabric mover for my Viking because the limited range and the inconvenience of repositioning on larger quilts. Now I'm sure I won't bother to buy one as most of my quilts are larger than crib size.

Yes, thank you for the info.
No I have a Flynn frame and it is not a good investment. OK for a baby quilt but almost imposible for a large quilt and would take up as much room as a full size quilting machine. |

To make a long story short, I'm willing to sell mine for half price. If anyone is interested, PM me. Eventually I will get around to posting this in the Classified Ad section. Nita |
Wow thats alot.
The reason I asked about it to begin with is that at the quilt show they were selling the larger hole ones for $450. They must be a big flop to come down that much. |
