I'm thinking of buying the plans on ebay and asking my bf to make it for me since he's handy with tools.

Thanks! It was really hard to tell what type of clamps were used to hold the batting bar to the table. I suppose it was the way the picture was...or my eyes ;) Anyway, the change you made seems like it ought to work, maybe even easier.
I'm thinking I could take my top bar, since I float the majority of quilts, and use that to load my batting on and mount it below my backing bar on my frame. However, I'm afraid of it warping some, due to the weight of a whole roll of batting (which is what I want to store), so I'm now thinking of using fence poles as I think they come in 6-8' lengths, are cheap, can be joined, and sure won't sway over time. Anyway...just thinking at this point.
You did a great job! I know they are sure fun to use! I enjoyed looking at the webshots as well.
Thanks for your reply,

But I have a question - what is that that is holding your batting bar on? Is it a special form of clamp? I am sure it's something simple that I'm just not recognizing...but it's really interesting!
Great job!

This is my homemade quilt frame. Saving until I can get a really good one….I used garden rods for poles and lots of claps to hold the “quilt rods” in place. Used a six foot foldable table, shelving hangers for tracks and bought a Grace frame carriage upgrade. Great for baby quilts and laps quilts. Total cost…. Less than $200. I have using if for about a year now. What do you all think?
