I have a frame my husband made me like a Grace frame. I like this concept as it is so simple. I could use rails of many lengths and even store a quilt in progress by lifting it off the frame. Pretty cool.
canderson: you might want to load your frame a little differently. Front rail closest to you has all three layers. Next rail is the backing, batting on the next ( or just let it hang) last rail which is farthest away is the top. By bringing the top over the backing rail some tension is created on the quilt sandwhich.
