This is the frame that our group uses to quilt (ours is really old fashioned). 4 long boards covered with fabric and held together with "C" clamps. The backing is pinned to the fabric on the boards, batting added, and then the top is pinned on.
Once we have quilted as far as we can reach, the sides are rolled up, and we continue to quilt. No puckers. Up to 10 ladies can work on a quilt at the same time. Or, if we have 2 quilts to do, we can set up 2 frames at the same time.
We used to rest the frame on the backs of chairs as we quilted, but then we found the four stands on Kijiji for $20.00. They were too short for some of us, so we got a couple of 1.0" dowels at the hardware store, sawed them to length and screwed them to the bottom of the stands. Problem solved!
The group has used this frame for years, and it is still going strong.
This is how i baste all of my quilts because I like using a hoop to hand quilt.
