I also need a pattern for making quilting frames as funds are a problem and I need to be as self sufficient as possible. HELP!!!!
I would suggest joining a "freecycle" group in your area, join a few neighboring cities, it is allowed. you may get another sewing machine and fabrics this way.
as for free patterns:
www.quilterscache.com
have hundreds of blocks..
or google "free quilt patterns" and what you see will make your head spin!
Good luck with your new venture! the seniors will love it!
