Thread: Have you seen the upright basting frame?

I see a lot of members like this idea and I do too but I guess I just don't see worth it's price for the size of quilt you can do. I can deal with full size quilts on my cutting table if I work in sections. But, then again, I've been doing more QAYG techniques since I can't really maneuver big quilts on my DSM.

I already have a design wall so don't need that. And having to stand up like that to pin a quilt would be very hard on my lower back. With my table, I can lean over it which takes some of the stress off my lower back.

Help me understand how handy this would be and worth around $300 AU (don't have a clue what that would be US).

I don't mean to sound critical (if I come across that way) so I apologize up front if I offend anyone by my comment.

On the website there is an extension for the frame to hold King size quilts. DH said the cost of the pipes and fittings, and his time and the ability to make it look not home made rigged, it would be much better to buy it ready out of the box. I love his thinking and he loves me. LOL

Yikes!! I'll stick with my spray adhesive...
