Also it is wise to knot the wool ones at 4 inches, this will hold the wool in place better. I knot with all of the threads mention here to-day. My children liked to twist thier fingers around the knots before they fell asleep. Also the frames mention here can be call quilting sticks. I resently had a carpenter make me a new set so I can make king size quilts (110X110 in.) I have a large room to set it up in.
May I ask what kind of wood your new frame (sticks) were made of? And I'd like to know more about knots, too!!
