I have see a set up similar to this at the Sewing Expo last year... I almost purchased it but the throat on my old Pfaff is not 6 in deep...which was a requirement to use it... just purchased a quilting Brother so much larger space to work in now.. .. so will probably get it this year.. anyway... they use PVC pipe where you are yousing the sides where you put floor boxes.. and it has clamps.. to hold quilt tight using PVC also to roll on.. was only
$100 if I remember correctly...

This keeps the quilt level with my machine and much easier to handle. I pin baste and so I need to think which way I will roll the quilt or I get stuck a lot. Planning on trying safety pins with my next quilt. It just takes time, but very rewarding.
