Got this idea from my quilting class, made my own stretcher bars. They are about 7-8 feet long for length, 6-7 feet in width of 1x2, four pieces of lumber all together. Using staples I wrap in pieces in muslin allowing a piece of about 1 1/2 for pinning. I use c-clamps to hold the frame together. First pin the backing fabric, lay out the batting and then the quilt top. Make sure everything is taut and then you can either pin or baste. I usually work with this in the garage when there is plenty room and I can turn it around if I need to.
