Welcome, from Northern California! Boy do I have that same problem. My husband built me a beautiful quilting frame and fortunately made it so that it can be tilted almost fully vertical, because the couple of times I left it level, my cats thought it was the most wonderful hammock in the world. And then I had to restretch the quilt because they weigh so much they loosened the clamps. LOL
