I personally wanted a 10 foot frame to do large quilts..for some reason I seem to be making quilts larger and larger..oh well..keeping the fabric shops in business.
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.
That is why I a getting this one, the gal that had it got an absolutely huge one...with computer. So I got lucky, really lucky as she offered it last summer and I could not figure out how to afford it. Since then it is all I have thought about. DH has bought some items since that were spendy so I asked and he said yes if I can find a spot. He has a nice large shop, hmmmm, wonder how he would like to move out there. ;-)
