This is the machine I keep complaining about. It does what it is suppose to do wonderfully. I just wish I had a larger throat on the machine. This is a portable B-Line frame with a Juki machine. This machine beats paying $150 - $200 to have a long arm quilter quilt my quilts for me. And on this frame I can stretch it to 12' so I can do a king quilt on it. But I can only quilt a 4" - 4.5" wide all the way across but then I have to stop and advance the top, batting & backing. I can't quilt large motifs like I'd like to. This one I did a meandering stitch kind of in a water pattern.

Edit: One great thing about it-----no basting!!!!! That's worth it's weight in gold if you ask me. I'd like to have an HQ-16.

Quilterbee - is it just me?? Do you wish you had more throat space so you can do larger motifs? Do you stipple/meander or what?

What great pictures!!! Love the colors of the quilt and it's interesting for me to see how the frame works!

When I'm concentrating on something, my mouth moves a lot. My kids laugh at me all the time... I think it just means that the brain is working!!!
