Trupeach, this is what my DH made for me, as I always had issues trying to quilt: http://www.quiltingboard.com/posts/list/24223.page, and I just use my regular old machine with it. If you scroll down, there's more pictures, also of me using it.
I have my feed dogs down, use a darning foot, and do the free motion quilting with it. There's lots of videos on utube, where you can see someone doing the free motion. I hadn't ever heard of it before, so it was really helpful seeing someone do it!

Before using this I always had puckers, etc, in my backing. This seems to really help hold it all tight. This does up to 4' wide, and he's getting longer pvc pipes for it, for when I do my 3 sons quilts, which will be wider.

And I've also asked this very same question on here!! :D :D

Hope this helps. It was all totally foreign to me, until I started hearing what all everyone else did, and being able to actually see it.
:D :D
