here is mine


I ordered mine from paracord planet and it came very quickly. I bought an assortment of clips so got several colors. I live rural and this was not something I could pick up locally.



Because of how my frame is constucted, I was able to thread the cord between the side supports. Very easy to attach and take down if needed.



I was using a long tape ruler before, but it was a lot more work and I had to write down what the measurement was, and sometimes I'd forget or measure wrong. This way once I set the marker, I can forget everything else.

I had originally set up two cords with the second one at the back, but found the back one was more often in the way than helpful so I removed it.

BTW - that pink thing you can see under the frame is a long frame my DH made that I made a "bag" for. It runs the length of the frame and it's where I tuck in the batting and top so I'm not stepping on it. I tired different clips to help hold the top out of the way, but never came up with anything I liked better. When I need to, I can easily flip the top out to check on the batting. My frame is designed to have the top mounted to the upper bar (the one that has nothing on it) and I had already gone to floating my tops so never installed the velcro to hold the leaders on that bar. I've always felt I needed to leave it there, but when I loosen the top for quilting, it really is serving no purpose . . . I may try taking it off as it sure would be easier to mount everything with it gone. I do have the holders so I can lift it out of the way for mounting the batting and top.
