Here is a little tip...I use a car mechanics rolling stool, craftsmen..when I load the batting and backing on the bars it really helps to be able to see things better. I am not bending over..but at eye level.


Thanks for the tip! I have an Inspira frame I have been trying to get set up for some time now (on what used to be our front porch)....not a lot of wiggle room!
