Cutie Frame

We are pleased to introduce you to the newest part of your quilting setup. This frame has been

especially designed to help quilters like you have the tools available to create quality projects.

This manual is broken into four sections (or parts). Notifications at the end of each section will

direct you to switch to your machine manual or QuiltMotion manual for instructions on assembling

those products. This creates a streamlined process of building a complete quilting setup in the most

efficient way. Use the following flowchart to guide you in navigating multiple manuals. If you are not

using one of the products in the flowchart, just move to the next item in the chart.

Thank you again for choosing us to help with your quilting projects. We look forward to working with

you.
