Anyone Use the Quilt Easy Quilt Frame?

I know this one comes up a lot but now it's my turn....I have some
money saved and am thinking of making a machine quilting frame
purchase. I like the Quilt Easy Quilt Frame because it rests table
top. Anyone have this and willing to share pros/cons/experience?

Thanks!

I have the Quilt Easy and love it! It's nice and sturdy, sits on top of the
table with no clamps or tape, needs no modifications (like I keep hearing about
from the Handiquilter users). I have a Juki machine on it (wonderful machine)
and I have handihandles and a homemade front handle with extra speed
control/switch. Very happy with the whole set up.

Forgot to mention. All the quilts on my page were quilted on this system.

Is there enough room under the throat of the Juki to do a pattern on a 12"
block?

Not all at once. I just finished doing feathered patterns on a '30s quilt and
I rolled it back and forth as I worked. With the needle down feature on the
Juki, this wasn't difficult. For the huge price difference -- about $1,400 for
my system and about $14,000 for a longarm -- I don't mind the little bit of
extra work. And, of course, there are patterns you can do in two passes on
your borders, etc.

So let's say you're doing a cable on your borders. For the horizontal
borders you work horizontally. For the vertical borders, you wait and do
those after everything else? Then re-roll the quilt in the opposite
direction? I've always wondered this for all quilting machines.
