I have a Lund and love it...works just like a long arm... I use my Janome 7700 with an 11 inch throat, which does work better than my smaller machine....also use a Singer Quintet that has a deeper throat... I have found I am able to be more creative with my designs. My grandfather made my grand mother a quilting rack, took that and set the Lund up on it making my design area 8 feet across...would recommend it for anyone like myself that can't afford an expensive long arm.

I haven't made my own frame but my DH made this set up for me and it works well. We probably have about $400 in this set up. Good luck to you.

How big is your home machine? As soon as you use a frame with a domestic sewing machine, you have the issue of the take-up roller occupying some of the space under the arm of the machine.
Also, are you talking about moving the machine on a frame? Or on moving the frame?
Here is a link to a video about Ken Lund's quilting frame kits, which are designed to sit on a table while you move the machine:

He has lots of videos on Youtube showing various aspects of his frames. Also, if you do a search on the QB for Ken Lund, you will find several threads about these frames and modifications users have made to them.
For the type of frame in which you move the frame, I think the Flynn frame is the most well-known. Many people have difficulty learning how to use it, though.
Edit: I just checked out the links posted by kindleaddict above, and I believe they are for hand quilting.

oldtisme, You might want to list the unused Ken Lund frame on the QB as I'm sure someone here would be interested in buying it. I would myself, except I already bought a used longarm setup for myself a couple of years ago.......

my DH made this for me. We spent about $200 in supplies. I've quilted 3 quilts on it. I prefer to just quilt at my desk. My 9" DSM just doesn't give me enough space to do anything except a narrow pantograph or stipple.

Once you have made the boards you may prefer this method to baste a quilt?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PcF0_hqbOrk

My computer got invaded by an encryption virus or I would put in a link I found for directions and parts for a do it yourself quilting frame. It looks like one of these a hubby made in a message above. Just search and maybe you will find it. It used your own machine. I have pictures I printed off the site and will look again as I want to make one.
