That way you can roll the frame up, with the hanging strings, during the times you’re not quilting.
I agree with the others about needles and threads, and starting in the center after all your quilt is spray or pinned taut. However, if you use a set up like mine you quilt from the outer edges in toward the center. Here are the only two pictures I have and may not show the frame very well.
Thank you for the pictures.
Yes I am from India. However currently in Canada.
My children have made their life here and as their children are growing, they now travel less frequently to India. It's easier for them that I travel here than for all of them to travel to visit me.
And No- I do not have access to a "handy ' husband !! How I wish !
