After seeing the idea of using pool noodles, I thought maybe I could use the to wind up my batting and place it under the quilt frame as I have rolling carts for it to lay on. Problem was my quilts are normally over 70" long and wide so the pool noodles (2) were too flimsy so I picked up a piece of thin conduit pipe to place thru the hole but I had to slice the pool noodles down the middle on one side only to get the pipe to go thru. I stick straight pins every couple feet along the pool noodle to keep the batting in place as I roll it up. As I advance the quilt, it just automatically rolls with the rest of the quilt. I have kitties that think playing or sleeping on the wadded up batting was for them so this way I've made it harder for them to put holes in the batting. Right now I'm working on a 107 x 107 quilt and though my pipe/pool noodle was not quilt long enough it still worked great for me. I know others have attached a pole under their frames but since I had the rolling carts under mine, this was the next best idea I could come up with.
