I have the same frame , but I have to ask a question. You said you ran your stitch threads all over the quilt, then flipped the frame to cut and tie it, is there a reason to tie on the back, or is that just your taste? I have never seen one tied on the back, but I wondered if that would look alright. I see that it does. Thank you.
Here an idea I would like to share with all who have this portable quilting frame - At every holiday gathering, I have a gift quilt on the frame, all stitched and clipped. I invite all guests to tie a knot and leave a blessing as they tie it. When the quilt is presented, the story of all who helped tie it and left warm wishes goes with it. I finish tying it Christmas Eve night. So far they have all been tied on the front, but maybe the next one will be tied on the back....
