quilting frame
I am new at quilting and am working with a group at my mobile home park. We would like to have a quilting frame that we can use to hand quilt out project. Would anyone know where I can get plans to make one. Thanks

Are you looking for a frame big enough for all of you to sit around? If so a low cost frame can be made by 1X3 lumber and 4 C clamps. You staple a sturdy leader strip of fabric to 2 of the bars for pinning the quilt back to and stretch the backing fabric and C clamp the other to bars on to firm a large square. Put the square up on the backs of 4 chairs and you are ready to lay on the batt and top. Pin the top to the cloth leaders and adjust the C clamps so that the whole sandwich is taut. Start quilting on the leader sides and roll the quilt around the 1 X 3 as you want to advance.
If you want a smaller, handier frame for only one to two people, buy a Q Snap frame with a 50% Joanne coupon.
