Okay - here are pics of the set-up. I've made about 45 quilts - all baby to twin size. I've had 4 of them quilted by a long-armer, but the rest I've done using those basic methods mentioned earlier. This does open a new door, but I'm still not sure it's the answer I wanted.
Sorry the pics are sideways. The machine is sitting on my dining room table. The tubes are 48 inches long. You turn your machine sideways - facing towards you. That's not as hard to get used to as you'd think.
I first put a sandwich made from fat quarters and batting in an embroidery hoop and turned the hoop upside down to see what I could do with a setup like this. You move the hoop like you move this frame in order for the machine to quilt it.
