It sounds like you are talking about a hand quilting frame.
So, my questions would include:
- how big do you want it?
- how much room do you have for it?
- how much are you willing to spend on it?
- is hubby handy enough to make you one? There are several different patterns free on the net now. and ... Do you want a homemade one?
- are you going to use it a lot?
- would a hoop be easier for you to use?
My first hand quilting frame was from one of our parishioners. It was basically 2 long poles with cloth tacked onto the long sides. Then there were 2 shorter boards that were 'spacers' for the long poles. I put the whole thing up on top of 4 chairs to do my quilting. Luckily we had a very big living room. When not in use or having company over it was disassembled and the long poles were place in the corner of the stairwell. I wish I had been able to keep them. They were positively historic.
Unfortunately I no longer do much handwork. Oh well.
