A lot of people love the Flynn frame and you will too when you get used to using it. I think your husband purchase it for you is also wonderful. It shows he takes what you do seriously and is proud of you. Count your blessings.

I have family in El Campo and went to school with one of the insurance agents there locally... just thought I would mention that! I have been machine quilting a blanket without hoops and am wore out after about an hour or so. I think I should invest in one of these! Thanks for sharing this info!

My husband just retired and has WAY too much time on his hand! He knows that I've been trying to find a machine quilting class with no luck. He also knows that I've taken a couple of quilts to a friend who has a set up with a Juki and a Gracie frame - that may be totally wrong, but he saw her setup anyway. Don't know if he got this idea from her or just from researching - frame - quilt - machine --- or some such thing on the internet. Last year he bought me a hand quilting frame which is still in the box. This year for Christmas I got the Flynn frame, some varigated thread in my stocking and a quilt block a day calendar. So ... yes, he does take a keen interest in what I do.

It's good to be reminded that he has some good qualities. He retired on a "whim" ... I had no idea that's where we were headed. I'm working 13 hour days and he's at home ... so ... adjustment issues for sure.

This is a series of pipes that you roll the sandwich pieces around. You then attach them with end pieces provided in the kit and put it under your machine needle. The machine doesn't move - you maneuver the frame around. THere's only a narrow area that you quilt - across the width of the fabric..............
There was a quilter a while ago who said she put the quilt together on the Flynn Frame, rolling it all up until the sandwich was made. Then she takes out the middle rod and uses just the two rods left to hold the sandwich while she quilts. This gives her a much bigger space to quilt on. Seems like a keeper idea to me!

Thank you for sharing this info. I bought one of those Flynn quilting frames a few years ago and have yet to try it.....I know I need to just jump on in and I will one of these days. Your quilt is lovely and kudos for using the frame.
