Thanks for the different perspectives.  At this point, I already have too many other projects in progress and am not looking for a DIY solution.  In the past, I have mostly done smaller quilting projects (wall hangings, newborn quilts, etc.). However, I am anticipating a need to do larger quilting projects as I get more involved with my local guild.  My sewing room is pretty tight on space, so my preference is for a compact out- of-the-box solution, which is why I asked about the DIME product.
