Recently I have seen many questions about various types of quilting system setups. I have a BabyLock Quilters Choice Professional machine on a New Joy 10' frame. The quilting space on this setup is about 5-6" depending on the size of the quilt and the motif. I have had this system for about 3-1/2 years. I mostly do my own form of meandering, which is swirls and whorls. I also do pantographs, and am doing them more often. I have to admit I haven't spent much time practicing free motion quilting such as feathers. But overall I am happy with the results I get from this setup.
The quilting shown in these pictures is from a pantograph pattern. I like the rich look of this quilt with the ruby red quilting thread. It's gift for my friend for her birthday. Her favorite color is this purple-y eggplant color and her palette is dark jewel colors.

This fills the end of my sewing room

I really like this thread on this quilt - the small puffys shrink away in the wash!

Great setup. Thank you for pics. I have been waiting for my frame to go on my Mega quilter and was wondering how it was going to work. My SO bought the plans to make me one. It is slow going, waiting for him to finish making it, can't wait but I don't want to rush him as I want it done right.
