I use a Q Snap frame. I have a 11"x17" for borders and a 17"x17" for regular size quilts. the Q Snap is nice because you can adjust the tautness without having to remove the quilt from the frame.
you can get a lot of quilting done before you need to move the frame to a different part of the quilt.
I have had mine for years and they work really well.
