DIY Suspension System $60.00
#1

I made a DIY quilting suspension system for my mid arm that was super easy and cheap. It would work for domestics, too.
2 dog grooming arms..mine were on sale for $25.00 each and are height adjustable, 2 bungie cords and 2 clamps with holes in the handles for the bungees to attach to.
That was about it. Took me 10 minutes and works great. I think you do have to re-adjust it often, but I can get to all corners of 12" block with no drag, so far and as I learn to work with them it might get even better. It makes a big difference.

.... and now, for more questions ... being that we are somewhat "neighbours" ....
Where did you get the dog grooming arms?
Their not-on-sale price would be?
(thinking that I might score the same sale!)

Thanks ... just called Ren's here, and yes, they have them but no deal! 
I even tried pleading that you had got a sale on them, but no dice!
So I will wait and watch for now.
I do have the clamps and bungies already.
I called a few other places and all referred me back to Ren's, so I guess that is the place to go.
It looks pretty slick and fits nicely with your Tiara set up.
BTW ... love the looks of that quilt!
