Didn't watch the whole film but will when I get home tonight, but that is the way my mother did her quilts. Used cardboard for templates and quilted on a frame with four boards tied to chairs. After rotary cutters came out she used that. But that is the way I hand quilt, with four boards and c clamps on stands. I also don't like the machine quilting, to hard and stiff, but I have seen some nice machine quilting. To each his/her own.
