I decided that I wanted to try my hand at hand quilting my latest project and remembered that I had inherited a quilt frame from my aunt in the late sixties. Sure enough there in the garage my husband found the Dritz quilt frame, two in fact plus a lap frame, that have made the trip from Illinois to Massachusetts to Colorado. He put it together, I cleaned it and lemon oiled it and it looks fantastic. How to fasten the quilt to the bars? There are multiple little tack holes in the bars so I assume that was how it was done way back. Does anyone know, other than C clamps, how to anchor the quilt without damaging the fabric? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. This just proves that being a "pack rat" can sometimes prove to be a good thing.
