Just Sew Simple Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I don't know if I have seen the Quilt EZ system discussed on this forum. Does anyone know about it and what are your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 There's a whole section/forum down in the gadgets and goodies forum. I have the Quilt-EZ system and I really like it. It's very simple to use and less expensive than the CL system. It's not quite as versatile as the CL system though. I just finished 3 quilts using the baptist fan template. I'll try to post a picture here. If it doesn't work, they're on my blog www.heyyouquilter.blogspot.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollyrw Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Here's a shot of the back. The color is not very true, it's just muslin. And sorry it took so long. I'm at work and work interrupted me. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Sew Simple Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Holly, you are a doll. I'm glad you like yours. They are much less expensive than the CL and fit my pocketbook. Oh, and I love your fans. They look perfect! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Thanks Sylvia. They didn't start out so good. This is about the 6th quilt I've done with the BF. I found a better stitch path about 3 quilts ago and that really helped. I'll see if I can find the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Beth Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Sylvia, There are lots of opinions out there...be sure to do your homework as with any tool you purchase. If you go back and read the posts over time you will find one from me saying almost exactly what you are saying about the CL. I didn't think I could afford it either. At that time I owned the HF and was determined to use it....although I failed miserably. Kudos to those ladies that are successful with the HF, you are doing wonderfully with it and I for one would love to see more pictures posted of your work with the HF. I finally admitted defeat and sold my HF and took the plunge. I am so glad I did. The CL does seem to cost more, but the templates can be used for so many different patterns...the King Zig Zag alone has 12 or more patterns on one template. The Swirls template looks good on just about any quilt you put it on, and the 7 Wonders template has unlimited possiblities. And keep in mind, like many of us are doing, we purchase what we can afford for one year's worth of payments, then pay it off and purchase some more. Just a thought. Don't rule out the CL, talk to other quilters. Like Holly, who loves her EZ, there are those out there who wouldn't trade what they have for anything.

Mary Beth Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Oops...forgot to mention R&S templates and The Topper....(sorry Linda)...check every possiblity.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Sew Simple Posted September 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Mary Beth, thanks for chimeing in. I will do just that! Thanks, Really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renae Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I have both the CL and the Quilt EZ and like them both. But want to get the R&S template too and try that, just for the price right now. The topper sounds great when I want something from the front........I love working from the front of my machine.

IBQLTN2 Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 sylvia I just ordered the Topper and some R&S boards. Havent' recieved the topper yet but got some of the R& S boards in. R & S has a stylus for the Lenni as well. Jeanne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bekah Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 Going to chime in here. I have the CL and love it, love it, but I also use the topper and R&S boards. I can use my CL templates on the topper by clamping them down. but wouldn't trade my long boards from CL for anything. they all have their place and use. I don't think you can go wrong no matter which you end up with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyrw Posted September 16, 2008 Report Share Posted September 16, 2008 I forgot to say that I have some R&S boards too. They work just as well and cost a little less. I've been toying with the idea of having R&S make me a custom pattern board. I need to check out what it will cost. I would really love to have one of those automated router type machines to make my own templates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
