I'm 100% serious when I say that if anyone buys the Cutie Breeze quilting frame for me, I'll make a quilt for them equal to the amount they paid for it. It's on my Throne list. This thing will make it possible for me to machine quilt using my regular machine while treating it like a longarm machine. I'll be finishing soooooo many quilts, and they'll be less expensive because it's done on a machine and take significantly less time than what handquilting involves.
I'll need to practice before I'm comfortable selling what I finish, so those quilts I make will be at a discounted price.
There's a very real possibility I have EDS. Even if I don't, I live with chronic wrist pain in both wrists, and tendonitis in my left hand and thumb. This device will serve as an accommodation for these issues.
As of posting this, there are three still available. They're also 40% off. This is normally $1k USD, and it's on sale for $600. You will be my hero and get a quilt in exchange for this.
Please and thank you.
#words from the artist#disability#accommodation#quiltblr#mutual aid#I had to give up drawing. calligraphy. coloring line art. writing by hand. and jewelry making due to the loss of a ligament in my right#wrist. I can't even use chopsticks now because after a couple minutes they just fall out of my hand. I have tendonitis in my left hand#and recently diagnosed with hypermobile joints. apparently I shouldn't be able to bend my fingers the way I do? The last joint on my thumbs#bends back to an almost 90 degree angle. this isn't normal. My fingers also bend really far back. my kneecaps like to dislocated. and my#thighs like to pop out. No one ever suggested it might be hypermobile joints. with this device I won't be putting so much strain#on my hands back wrists elbows or shoulders like I do when handquilting. I still need to be fitted for ring splints because my fingers#and thumbs need the support and stability but this frame will make a world of difference for me.
