That sounds like a great quilting frame - I remember my mom having something like that but all of the quilts she made were tied quilts - nothing was quilted. My dad would set it up and take it down for her but she eventually stopped sewing after a while. I did buy a zook frame from someone that's new in box (!!) and I have to build it. I'm grateful I have the instructions for it and I'm going to try to get that going this weekend!
