Anyway, has anyone's dh made a quilt frame for them that might share some insight as to what and how it was done? He is most stumped on being able cut PVC to clamp over the frame to hold the quilt in place.
I have a small Q-Snap, so he can look at that one, but is still not sure how he might go about it.
Maybe some of the ladies have some suggestions too. I know that we can come up with some very good ideas as well as the guys. Thanks to all,Gina
Is a PVC frame what you really want? If you have a good pattern, a frame made from 2x4 shouldn't be too expensive.
