Our quilt group paid a lot for a stand similar to the one in the pic, that was called a quilt display stand. Then a photographer friend saw our stand and told us that they are frequently used by photographers to hold up their backdrops, or rolls of paper. Hey presto, we were then able to check them out, and got some at less than half the price of our original one. They come in well made carry bags that are about 4ft long and easily transportable, so now our quilt group owns 8 of them that we use for exhibitions.
