Then layer the backing and top. I have tied a quilt in this manner. I have my husband's grandma's frame like this. Works very well. ( I hope I have explained this that is understandable.)
Oh, yes, I remember! My grandma almost always had her frame set up in the living room on the farm, and then in the living room when she an Grandpa moved to town. My sister now has the joy of that old quilt frame, and when I visit next summer, it would be fun to put a quilt on to tie! My mom also had such frame. Good memories!
