Need help identifying this frame
#1
Hi guys,
I've had this quilting frame for a couple of years and am now in a pickle. I need to get some replacement parts for it soon (bolts etc) and am havnig trouble identifying this frame. I have googled it, and asked around but no one seems to know what kind/style frame this is. I really want to get a new one but it's not in the cards, so I just need to figure out what to call what I already have so I can research it a little.
Thanks in advance guys

Never seen one like this. If it is just the screws and other metal parts you need replaced I would just take them to the local hardware store and match them up. You probably will have better luck with an Ace or old fashion hardware store instead of Home Depot or Lowes.

I borrowed a frame like this a couple of years ago. It was one from Sears, but no longer made as far as I could tell.
Then I bought a very similar one from Craigslist a couple years ago. I can no longer find the paper with the instructions and the manufacturer's name. I find it easy to use, easy to set up for the demos I take it to. It's been used at a festival of historic arts at an old mill's restoration benefit, in a fifth grade classroom to teach quilting for a day during History Week, and at another art-in-the-park festival, at all of which the public practice quilting on it.
It isn't one I leave up all the time due to space constraints; I use a handheld lap hoop to handquilt.

If you'll google "wood quilting frames" and go into the 5th, 6th and more pages, you might find one similar to yours.

Then pin or baste the edge of the quilt to that befoere rolling it on the rails.
You can mark the center of the quilt and the center of the strip and match those points to each other as you begin to pin, working out toward the ends. This helps keep the quilt staright and free from bunching.
Run your hands down the length of fabric on the rails, too, as you roll a turn or two to help smooth it all.
