Three Dog Night

This is my latest 3 Yard quilt. The pattern is called Sew Quick and I used fabrics from Kaffe, it was perfect to show off his big florals. I quilted it on the new Cutie Breeze that I'm 1 of 100 that were chosen to Beta test for Grace Company, just meandered and did a flower in the green squares. The Breeze has carriage with upper handles, clips to hold quilt instead of elastic straps and no straps in front.

Lucky you to try out the new set-up. Great job on the 3 yd. quilt too.

what fun to be a beta tester! When Connecting Threads was designing their website I was a beta tester for them.

Oh what fun. I'd love to test one of those. The big question, would you purchase it for yourself?

Beautiful! Love those big bold colors and prints.

I've had the original Cutie for over 2 years and the new Breeze for the last month. Both have things I like alot and some that are so so, I do like the Breeze better. Since I already have a Cutie I don't think I would purchase the new Breeze but if I didn't have original Cutie the answer is yes I would buy it. Some of the things on the Breeze will be offered as upgrades to the Cutie frame like the upper carriage handles and I probably would have just upgraded. The purpose of our testing is to try to work out some of the kinks that are there with any new product. There are YouTube videos by Bonnie DeBruler Kempke at Quilting On A Thread that she has made comparing the 2 frames and differences. The advantage of both frames is they are small hoop frames that you can quilt any size quilt on (Queen was my biggest), they take up a small amount of room, you can use any machine from 7" throad to a 19" throat (my Juki TL2010 is 8 1/2") and it can be taken down for storage quickly and only takes up a small amount of space.

Lucky you to be chosen to Beta test this machine. And a great quilt to test. Nice work!
