Honey58, I see you’re from India . My daughter has visited there. Anyway, this is my set up. If you have access to lumber and a handy husband he can cut you some strips of wood for your frame. I use clamps on the corner of the wooden frame. You can prop the frame on dining chairs like my grandmother did or hang from hooks in the ceiling like my mother-in law. That way you can roll the frame up, with the hanging strings, during the times you’re not quilting.
I agree with the others about needles and threads, and starting in the center after all your quilt is spray or pinned taut. However, if you use a set up like mine you quilt from the outer edges in toward the center. Here are the only two pictures I have and may not show the frame very well.
