Open that door a little wider, Patrice!
See your avatar? THAT's how you reach the middle!!
No seriously, I was thinking more of a roll type, that I could let the cords down on, AND roll the different parts of the quilt to get to with needle and eyes, I'm not good at reaching overhead. THAT would be for getting it up and out of the way when not quilting...right???

I made mine out of 4 pieces of wood. 2 are 6 feet long and 2 are 3 feet long and I joined them together with 4 c clamps. I lay one side on my ironing board and one side on my sewing table while quilting. When I am finished quilting for the night or day I just lean it against the wall. And that's all. Oh and it cost about 20 dollars to make.

Ruth's picture is exactly like my mom's. as you finish what you can reach, you take out some of the basting on the two ends and roll the finished part up on the side board, you can do it all from one side or go back and forth. you finish in the middle. When you're not working on it you wind the ropes around the ends of the boards and that takes it up out of the way.

I have the same question. I have inherited an antique quilting frame from before the depression. My Grandmother always had a twinkle in her eye telling my how they would hang it from the ceiling. My husband said he would do the work, but neither of us can envision what it would look like. I really need a picture. Does anyone have one?
