Looks like a quick snap frame to me. A twist on traditional quilting frames. Used for hand quilting, and if thats what you do, could be usefull. Takes up less space than some hand quilting frames.

Some handquilters like frames like these. It is not a particular favorite of mine. I like a frame this particular PVC design isn't one of them.

I have one, and DO NOT LIKE IT! The top PVC pipe doesn't hold down the quilt - it is constantly popping off and the tension of the quilt is gone. It becomes such a frustration!

With that said... I have used it and used those plastic "wire ties" to hold the top PVC pipe down when I am trying to hand quilt a smaller quilt than the frame. It does take up quite a bit of room, about 2'x4', so if you don't have the room consider using a hoop.

I finally have become so frustrated with this product that I have it in my yardsale pile for next spring!
