I bought a Hinterberg Quilting Frame Hardware Kit for $69. My husband built the frame for me with the instructions. We had to buy the wood and the conduit pipe to use as rollers. The whole project cost a little under $200. I can make any size quilt I want on it. A frame like this would go for at least $500 from what I have seen on the Internet. It also can come apart and be stored under a bed etc. when not in use. Right now I have a queen size double Irish chain on it that I am hand quilting. I also hand pieced it. There is a pic of it on the frame somewhere in this forum but I can't really tell you where.
I had looked at my friend's PVC frame and thought it was ugly. She is right when she says that it is utilitarian, but I like the aesthetics as well. Just an idea for you. Of course, you need to have someone who can cut the wood and help you assemble it initially in order to do what I did.
