I have a Bernina Quilt Frame and it's not something you will put up and take down easily. Yes the bars could come apart to 6' length I think, if you can undo them. But it's not a folding frame, it's assembled with nuts and bolts and took several hours to assemble. My suggestion to you is to check out the Grace Company (who makes Bernina Frames) and see if they have a folding frame.
