Hi ,

Which hoop-style quilting frame is right for you? Today we are comparing the super cute Cutie collapsible quilting frame with the new Evolution Hoop Hybrid Frame. I hope this video helps you pick the right frame for your quilting journey:

I compared these two frames on the following factors:

1. Size or portability
2. Ease of Use
3. Longevity
4. Compatibility

Yes, I probably should have included cost as well as it is often the first factor we look at when purchasing new quilting equipment.

The Cutie Frame is currently on an awesome sale for $589. If you want a collapsible frame you can easily pull out and begin quilting with your home machine, this is the right frame for you! Click Here to find the Cutie Frame.

Evolution Hoop Frame is on sale this month for $2299, but that doesn't include the top plate carriage for your home machine, which costs an additional $239.95. 

The Cutie frame is significantly cheaper and automatically comes with the top plate carriage needed for quilting with a home sewing machine.

It’s best to think of this as an investment, not an impulse purchase. Take your time, learn about our frames and machines, ask questions and you will likely be a lot happier with your quilting system for years to come.

I absolutely love my Evolution Hoop Frame set up permanently in the Crafty Cottage, but I also love having the flexibility with the Cutie Frame to move a frame around the house, or even quilt outside if I felt like it!

So that's it for this week. I hope I've given you some food for though on quilting frames. I have some new quilt projects and beautiful quilting designs in the works so be looking forward to a new mini series of easy free motion quilting designs coming soon!

Let's go quilt,
