Flynn Improved Multi-Frame System

So, I am wondering how this works. It seems very simple, primitively simple with rollers and rods. =) But, it looks like this works! There are no customer reviews on Nancy's Notions, but, the concept seems sound.
Anybody heard about this?

As a Nancy's Notions Sewing Advisor I have tested and worked with the Flynn Frame. It is a light weight frame designed to be used with your own home sewing machine (feed dogs down). Less hand & wrist stress because the PVC roller pipes carry the weight of the quilt. Frame keeps the quilt top, batting and backing at a consistent tightness.

I have a serious arm injury that I thought put an end to my quilting days. I couldn't see the expense or space needed for a long arm so I quit. My husband saw this while looking for something to give me back mt favorite past time (yeah I love him and will be keeping him). I LOVE IT! It almost completely removes the weight, the strain and it's almost as easy as drawing with my machine! I have done more beautiful designs then I ever did before my injury. More intricate designs and much more dense patterns. I have a hard time stopping now rather then just doing enough to get it done!
I promise you will not regret it and you will probably agree that it is one of those things that you can't image doing without ever again!
On yeah, one more thing, I rarely get puckers on the bottom fabric and I don't spend hours on my knees trying to pin the quilt well enough to prevent them!
