Cutie Quilt Frame - New Cutie Breeze Quilting Frame!

The Cutie Quilt Frame is our smallest quilting frame designed to fit home machines and longarms. The Cutie tabletop fabric frame is designed for you to set it up, quilt your project, then put it away in a closet or under your bed when you're done. We now have a new version of the Cutie Quilt Frame available - the Cutie Breeze Frame! This new Cutie frame is faster and easier to put together and features handlebars above the frame.  Do you have space for the Cutie Breeze Tabletop Frame? Measure and double check! The minimum size table to support the Cutie Breeze Frame is 24 x 54 inches. When you measure your space, also make sure to check around your table. You'll need a few inches of space to the back and front of this quilting frame. The Cutie Breeze Frame expands between 38 - 42 inches in depth depending on the size of sewing machine or longarm you put on the frame. The width of this Breeze frame is 54-inches, which is a little bigger than the original Cutie quilting frame. I cut an inexpensive project board from Lowes hardware to measure 24 x 54-inches to support my frame and set it on top of a Dingo Craft Storage Cabinet.

This frame is special because it's collapsible and design to fit on any sturdy flat surface, like a sewing table, kitchen/dining table, countertop, or folding table for easy access to quilting anywhere. Here is a frame you can pull out when you need it, move your machine in place, and quilt your project quickly. You could even take your Cutie Breeze on vacation! How Big of a Quilt Can I Make on this Frame? No limit! Just like the Q-Zone Hoop Frame and Evolution Hoop Frame, you can quilt a king-sized quilt on the Cutie Frame. This frame works like a traditional hand quilting lap hoop - you clamp a section in the frame, quilt that area, then shift the quilt over and clamp a new space. Because of the way it's designed, there is no limit for the size or shape of the quilt you use with this frame. You can advance the quilt side-to-side and forward, rolling the quilt and securing it with elastic straps and clips to manage the bulk.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Cutie Quilting Frame What machines are compatible? The Cutie can fit any home sewing machine, off-brand longarms (like the Babylock Tiara or HQ Sweet 16*) and the following Qnique Longarms: For the most quilting happiness, it is recommended that your home sewing machine has at least a 7 inch harp space. This will give you enough space to quilt creative designs on this frame. * You can use non-Qnique sit-down style longarms like the Babylock Tiara or HandiQuilter Sweet 16 with this frame. Unfortunately you must use the machine's foot pedal to control the speed. Do you have to baste your quilt before attaching to the hoop? Yes. The three layers of your quilt (top, batting, and backing) have to be layered flat together and pinned across the top and bottom edges. The middle of the quilt does not need to be pinned like traditional quilt basting for quilting on a home machine, but the layers of the quilt do need to be evenly spread out and flat. Please keep this in mind if space is a serious issue for you. You will still need the space to arrange the three layers of your quilt flat on a table or the floor, find the midpoints, and pin across the top and bottom edges of the batting and quilt top. I do this by pinning on a wall! If you do not have the ability to spread the layers of your quilt flat, a better frame choice will be the Q-Zone Queen Frame or Evolution Elite Frame which allows you to baste the quilt directly on the frame. How much work will it be to master quilting on this frame? This really depends on your current quilting skill level. If you have no experience with free motion quilting and plan to use a home sewing machine with no stitch regulator, you will need to practice in order to find the right speed / movement to quilt pretty stitches. This is the normal practice and troubleshooting process for free motion quilting on a stationary home machine. Quilting on a Cutie changes the movement (machine moving over the quilt instead of quilt moving under the needle), but you will still need time, patience and practice to create consistent sized stitches and pretty designs.
