I bought a no basting quilt frame just to layer and baste my quilt tops. Instead of hand quilting I baste it. I have the Grace EZ no basting frame (bought cheap from a downsizer) and it folds up flat when not in use. I have the extra long rails for it so it fits any size quilt. Before having this I used the Sharon Schamber method, excellent! but that took more room then the frame.
