    mrsd1pendy. I don't know how to look up past posts on this new board, but If you can go to ebay and type in "fan type quilting frame" one may possably come up. I haven't tried that recently, but there was some at one time. Looks very interesting. Hope you can find it.

    Default Hinterberg Quilting Frame

    This is a great full size frame that can easily be tilted when you are not using it to save space. For $179, you can buy a "kit" to build it, which has all the parts except the rails and the trestle. These are easy to buy and cheap. (Lowe's or HD) The directions are clear. It is easy to put together. Look at it on the Hinterberg website. I use mine everyday and love it. I never could get the hang of using a hoop on my lap.

    I use the pvc frame that is sold at JoAnns. It is not adjustable but you move the quilt. This is portable, easily stores, and holds any size quilt from large bed quilts to baby quilts. The cost in the range of $70 ish. Watch for coupons at the store for $$ off too.

    Mom says she can only afford to spend $200 and the ones I have found are around $250 to $300. Can any of you help me with your experiences and suggestions?

    I found a Grace EZ3-FF for $199.00 before tax and shipping. But just am not sure what to do.

    Thank you!

    Vanessa,
    There are some good deals out there but you have to be careful. Make sure all the parts and pieces to it are there if your buying one from and independent. And make sure the directions for putting it together are there. I found an old one at a thrift store and it works great. You don't need a real fancy one. The simpler the better.
