I am waiting for some fabric to arrive so I can finish up the sides of a quilt. When that's done, I also want to try the John Flynn frame, and I will need to enlarge it too. I purchased my frame in March 2008, and so far haven't even taken it out of the wrapping, because I quilted large quilts in sections instead. Now I have a quilt that can't be done in sections, so I want to try the frame. I have already looked at pipe at Home Depot and intend to purchase it when the quilt is ready to go. I give this description because I want you to know that any help I offer is purely theoretical.
This is what it says on the John Flynn site: The Multi-Frame and the Multi-Frame Kit each come with round rod ends for metal conduit (EMT). The round rod ends have micro teeth and can be used with ¾” or 1” metal pipe.
So the question is, if you put the rod ends on the ends of your pipe, will it fit into the end pieces?
