After waiting another 4 days for missing parts to arrive I was finally able to set it up this weekend. The directions are very clear but it took SEVERAL hours, I didn't keep track but I did it over two days. There are 96 screws just for the 4 poles!
This is the only space I have for it, a spare bedroom, that is almost too small for it. I set it up as a king because I have 3 very large quilts to do. Might have to re-arrange this room so I can put the frame up against the back wall. One thing that will be nice to have is a small table to set supplies on. I looked at a couple of rolling carts online but man, they were expensive. A cheap end table with a drawer would be fine and could probably put some rolling casters on the legs. I'll keep an eye out for one cheap and/or a thrift shop. I could always paint one that looks bad as long as it is sound. |
Can hardly wait to see your work, so get to it :lol: Have fun...

Good for you. Try a freecycle group in your area for a free table or check craigslist. You can sometimes find good stuff.

I wanna come play!!!

Looks good. So, are guests going to have to crawl under it to use the bed?
What kind of machine are you going to use on it? |
Yes, guests are going to have to crawl under it. :twisted: That's the price for staying at my house.... along with stray threads on your clothes.
The more I think about it, the more I am considering putting it in a slightly larger spare bedroom. I love the other room and I spent a lot of time and effort decorating it. I live alone in a 5 bedroom house so I have an office, a sewing room, my bedroom, and two spares. There HAS to be some place this will fit better! I won't be using a machine. Most will probably be tied, some hand quilted if I feel it's worth it for a particularly good one. |
Wow that is huge or shall I say long.....sure does take up alot of room.....do you plan on getting a longarm machine?
|
I'm so glad you got all your pieces. Now, I don't want to see that frame again unless you have something on it.......................like, a quilt. Wooohoooo, aren't you so happy?

Yeeeaaaay Pam, you finally got it set up!
Wow, all those spare rooms - can I have one for my sewing room? i promise I'll be good and share my stash! K x |
Good luck with it! Enjoy!
