Default Husqvarna/Viking Mega Quilter`

Hello everyone, I just joined and have a question. Does anyone use the
Mega Quilter on an Inspira frame? If so, how do you manage to do a bed
quilt on it without having to turn it around half way thru because the
throat is too small? I now have 15 tops ready to be quilted but am afraid
to put one on because I'm not sure how to get thru it all. Any ideas will
be greatly appreciated. Carolyn on Vancouver Island

Hi, there is a YAHOO group called "homequiltingsystems" and another
called "husqvarnavikingquilters" -- either may be able to help.

Hi Carolyn. Welcome to the group. Pull up a chair and join the cyber
quiltingbee. I had the Mega Quilter and Inspira frame for a couple of year
and loved it. I never turned a quilt around on it - way too much work. I
don't particularly like pinning them to the leaders. With pantograph
patterns, when the throat space got full, I would just do one pattern row
then roll the quilt. Until I got about halfway through with the quilt, I
could do two rows without rolling easily. At about the halfway point though,
it was tight even to do one row but I could usually squeeze it through. It
just takes longer to get a quilt done having to roll it after every row. I
didn't do much free motion quilting on it so I can't tell you about that. I
mostly used pantographs. I just got to the point that I wanted a larger
throat space and sold my Mega Quilter and got a Handi Quilter 16.

Hugs,
Mika

I DO QWEEN SIZE QUILTS ON THE INSPIRA FRAME AND MEGA QUILTER. i DO TURN
THE QUILT TO FINISH THE OTHER END.I have done a queen quilt completely on
the frame. It depends on the thickness of the material.Sometimes I USE MY
OTHER MEGA QUILTER ON A TABLE WITH A PORTABLE FRAME AND THAT WORKS OK.
