My husband ordered an Hinterberg kit to make a quilting frame for me. The way this one worked, it was fantastic. The size is limited -- the largest I can do on the frame (as it is) is a twin size. However, If I add longer pipes and side frame pieces (wood), I could enlarge the frame to handle bigger quilts. It was wonderful for the 45X60 crib quilt I did. But, it does take up a lot of room. If I didn't have half of my aunt's china and glassware in rubbermaid totes stacked in my living room, I would get it out and enlarge it. The advantage to this particular frame is that it tilts and you roll the quilt up on a roll using a handle, so that you can always keep your sandwich in order. Also, my talented husband customized it with a light attachment so that I could always see where I was working! My husband has since passed away, but our son is just as talented, if not more. I may hit him up on remodeling that! If I do many more quilts, I'm going to have to do something.
