I would also like to see the frame you built and how you built it. I purchased a handiquilter but it did not come with a frame. I purchased it from a quilt group buddy. The lady who owns the shop said to use a folding table but I am afraid that would not be sturdy enough. If you could share where you got your pattern, I could have my son make me one. BTW and not to forget, Your quilt is quite nice and I am sure your hubby will just adore it
