Welcome to the Quilting Board!

Thank you, thank you for this info. I have bookmarked and will definitely check the site. My quilting space is very minimal and have started to get discouraged. Have always made small lap/twin size before and hand quilted. The quilt I am currently making DGD is full/queen size and it is taking forever. DH laughs and says I might have it finished by the time she graduates in six years. LOL
Well, now these sit down longarm machines are starting to make sense. You need good support for the larger quilts. Back in the "old days", we were taught to put in over our shoulders! That NEVER worked well for me.![]()
A Good Friend, like an old quilt, is both a Treasure and a Comfort
Looks like you could make the same thing for less money. It's just PVC pipe, some webbing and a couple of clamps. If you have a handy hubby, it wouldn't be hard. Or if you're handy yourself.

Oh, that is so interesting! I am not willing to put hooks in my ceilings. This looks like just the thing I need. Thanks for posting!
I am forwarding this posting to my sister, who does all her quilting on my longarm. Even though she loves it, she has to dread the long trip back and forth traveling, and this little get-up just might be just the the thing for her to set up all the baby quilts, etc. that she is always working on.
Make every day count for something!

wow thank you for the info , Ilove it !!
I did place my order. And I could have built it myself. To those who have handy hubbies, the PVC pipe appears to be 1" Schedule 40 water pipe. I have a lot of it and the required fittings on hand to build a garden greenhouse. But I won't add another project to my long list of things to do.

I agree. I've built dog jumps for agility with pvc and it is really easy to do - BUT, I have enough projects without adding another.For those of you so inclined to do it, you can cut the pvc with a hacksaw but it is a lot easier with one of the specialty pvc cutters. I have one of those (somewhere!).
