Thread: Help ...putting quilt on frame

I have a homemade quilting frame... rails are big enough for a queen sized quilt. I'm trying to put a king sized quilt on it. I thought I could fold the borders in on the edges but that makes it thicker there and it won't roll evenly. HELP :cry: :cry: Have any of you tried to do this? Do you have any suggestions?? Thanks

That doesn't sound like a good idea, I don't think you will be happy with the end results :wink: :D:D:D

you may have to resort to removing the borders and quilting them separately from the body of the quilt, then join them using a QAYG method.

If your quilt frame is homemade. Can you get longer rails to use in place of the queen size ones. Just a thought. Because I have a short frame and DH bought 2 8' closet rails to install on mine. Might take a little (jerry rigging) but might work for you.
