My husband made me a small floor size frame out of the white plastic plumbers pipe and I bought the plastic clamps to go with it from an Amish store. I really like it but by back hurts after sitting at it for any length of time. I have seen these sold at Joann's for around $100. You just throw the quilt over the top of the frame and use the clamps to secure it. I think they work fine.
I do the same. It hurt my back to sit at the frame for a length of time and I found that I wouldn't sit at it very much. I just recently took the quilt off the frame and finished it using a large hoop. Much easier on my back.
