I originally planned to get my grandmothers quilt frames from my elderly aunt, but discovered they were not in the rafters of her shed as she thought. So I did some research and purchased Vonda's Quilt Frames. What a joy to use. You can view a video on YouTube or on line. I can set the quilt up all by myself in no time at all. The frames live in a nice box with a carry handle, so can be stored in a closet or under the bed when not in use. I can make anywhere from a baby size to a king size quilt with these frames. I set the frames up to straddle the bed in my guest room, so space is not a problem. I set the backing on the frames, lay out the batting, then put the top on. I do go ahead and place pins around here and there to baste, although this isn't strictly necessary. I love, love, love these frames.
