One of the groups I belong to is a quilting group...long arm quilting. Another one is for the smaller frames also.   I've had a Super Quilter frame (original tabletop) for 8 years or so and a Husqvarna MegaQuilter. 
 At first I used my regular sewing  machine on the frame.  I found I couldn't quilt a large enough space, so I got the MegaQuilter.
 I really enjoy using this frame and machine, I can quilt a quilt quite fast.  Sometimes it takes longer to load the quilt than to quilt it...lol...I was blown away a few years ago when I saw the new frame that my local sewing store SewingMachinesEtc.. 
Some of the frames now use a spline instead of a leader..saves so much time...saves so much work......But I don't produce enough to warrant getting a new frame.....
Anyway, because I have the frame I didn't really progress with free-motion quilting on my domestic machine.
So, I have been making smaller projects that can be done on my machine, well, except for the famer's wife sampler quilt.
I am blown away also by the quality of quilting on a machine nowadays.  Some ladies are so talented in their quilting...I never cease to be amazed!
I am looking forward to getting back into the sewing room and getting moving on my quilting and piecing.
And maybe even looking forward to the change of seasons......well...some cooler weather anyway.
