has anyone added a machine to thier hand quilting frame?

Okay, up front, no, I haven't done this. But since you've had no replies so
far, I decided to throw in my two cents.

I rather suspect that this is not a feasible thing to accomlish. The large
hand quilting frames such as the "easy build", are specifically engineered
to do hand quilting. Their only "mission" so to speak, is to hold the three
layers of the quilt in place while you quilt them. If you compare one to a
picture of any of the machine quilting frames, you'll see right off that
there is a lot more basic framing involved, because now you not only need to
support the quilt, you also have to provide a mechanism which will not only
support, but also allow a pretty much unlimited range of motion, for your
machine. Quite an engineering feat.

Inquiring minds (ok.. mind) wants to know... has anyone adapted thier
current hand quilting frame to occasionally machine quilt on it when
finished counts over enjoying the journey? Already have the hinterberg
easy build, just keep thinking you should be able to adapt it to a machine
occassionally when the need arises......
