Questions & Answers
If you load everything straight, the quilt rolls up evenly. The cloth leader I use to hold the top and batting measures 93 inches side to side (width) with 1/2 inch or less for the leader cloth, and maybe another 1/2 inch or less between the cloth and the frame on either side. Based on the other answers, it appears that others have wider items on their frames, so perhaps their frames are pulled out further. It seemed to be set to its full width when I installed mine. The width is a little compromised at this point, so I would not want it to be any
A loading bar in the middle would be a practical solution. What would be the point of loading both the middle bar and the back bar at the same time? In my opinion, the difference between loading as instructed and on the middle bar is that you don't have as much time to work out wrinkles as you go (and no matter how careful I am, there are always wrinkles) because of the shorter distance between your middle and front bars. I think it would also make it more difficult for you to keep the working area taut. To make even stitches I like to keep my working area as taut as I can make it (even though that goes against directions) because the looser your working area is the less you are able
The answer depends on the situation. You can expand it to a variety of It can hold 90 " of quilts at the maximum, so 95 " would be needed. There are about 20 inches of depth on the top, so that's the footprint of the floor. Not including your chair, that leaves little room for you. In the case of smaller projects, you may not need more than 60” or even

I used to quilt on a homemade frame that I found to be really effective. It is so much better than my homemade one, so I bought it. My opinion is that this method is more convenient than baste-free quilting given that you do not have to pin your quilt. It was a bit tricky to figure out how to put the quilt, backing, and batting on correctly, but I did it. A little more clarity is needed in the instructions. When you use the king size bars, it is huge and takes up a lot of space. The quilt I'm quilting on it now holds up nicely to the quilting needle, so I can only say that so far. One of the screw attachments on the wheels wasn't as firmly secured in as it should have been, but with some super glue, that was fixed. It is possible I would have thought twice about purchasing it had I known this before I bought it, and I may have saved my money & time. Another homemade one was made just now.
It would have been nice to have the Grace Z44 frame, but none seemed to be According to the Grace company, they began by catering to the home quilter, but now they also offer frames for large, commercial quilts. When home quilters made them the way they are today, it was too late.
It is functional and beautiful. A very nice frame with a very good tension, however it is very flimsy and cannot be used. I am unhappy with the overall wobbling of the frame. As a result of the single leg construction, the legs bowed out and it had a lean to one side. Grace Company suggested I lean it against a wall.
This frame does not appeal to me. On the longest setting, it's set as far as I can go. Most of the things I make are large-scale A quilt in the style of an American quilt. There appears to be some sagging in the poles. There is very little weight to it. In light of that, I feel like I need to be gentle with it so it doesn't A permanent sag in the pole is very disappointing and demonstrates how flimsy they are. Despite my best efforts to avoid it, I've kicked my toes on the legs/feet more times than I care to remember. The frames protrude quite a bit and you really need a dedicated space if you want to use such a I find it to be very big and made of cheap materials. Hand quilting is a great hobby if you have a limited budget and a lot of space to spare. I've tested it, and it My favorite hand quilting activity is quilting by hand. I can handle being confined to a chair in a room away from family, but not when you make me sit there. It's more pleasant to use the quilt sandwich frame instead of putting it together by hand. It would be easier to sit on the couch and quilt it if it were taken off the frame.
In addition to hand quilting, I also do some machine I had to upgrade my old frame due to its infirmity, so I opted for I found the instructions easy to follow, but it took awhile to put together. The quilt I have in there at the moment is king size. There are a few points along the edge of the frame, but it A frame like this one makes adjusting the quilting area very easy and does not take very long It's not unusual for me to be able to adjust my quilting area on my own, even on a king size quilt, which is unheard of with most other frames. A tilt that can be adjusted is a back saver for me. The quilting area is no longer inaccessible because I do not have to bend or contort to get to it. Because the entire area can be quilted, there is less adjusting needed and more quilting can be done. Although the price is a little high, I will purchase this quilting frame again in the future.
The report would have been nice if it had been included. It does not reveal that leader cloth ($80+) is needed for your quilt to be attached, or that side buggy clamps ($$) are also recommended. It would have been nice if the purchasing description had included this information.
This item really shouldn't have been so hard to put together not to use it should have been as it was described and therefore not my fault. So beware buyers! I try really hard not to write bad reviews no matter what I buy, just remember I have the choice of buying stuff or not.
A well-priced quilting frame with a lot of versatility that is easy to use. I would recommend it to anyone who is considering purchasing a quilting frame. Because I am short, I can adjust this to fit queen size quilts, and I'd give it a 5+.
