I bought some pool noodles at the dollar General and the inside was an inch. I went to home depot to get some wood dowels and they only come in 48' length. The pool noodles are about 68". So I got some 1" pvc cut 65" and that fits good. If I have a quilt that is bigger then 58" wide I am going to buy 2 more noodles and cut them in half and add 29 inches to my 58" ones and push the seam of the pvc added piece into the noodle. Then I can take apart or add on depending how big the quilt is. Put it on one or two long tables and use like the video shows.

I have pvc piping in my noodles too! DH had a lot of lengths in his shop left over from some project or other. He hasn't even missed them yet. LOL

Smart! I will be returning my dowl-rods I bought yesterday as they are too small. Maybe I'll look at the PVC pipes instead.

Better than a chuckle!

Conduit is cheaper than pvc pipe. Pipe insulation is an alternative to pool noodles if you can’t find them.

I have another (not quilting) idea for pool noodles. My cats always manage to knock their toys way under the console in the living room. So I cut some pool noodles to the correct length and scooted them under the front edge of the console so no more toys go under. Saves my knees!!
