I have been using it while I make table toppers, it worked great for hanging items in different stages of making. In my small space it gives me a way to keep things organized (a little bit). I haven't taken it down since I put it up, to handy. Thank you for looking.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this idea and pics! My hubby is off to Lowe's now...

This was my best thing to have when you have many projects going. I used it for quilting and embroidery and towards the end of Christmas sewing smaller items. I will never take it down. Once the smaller items got to the other end of the frame they were done. I don't mean to brag but sure came in handy. Hope you all have a wonderful Holiday season.

What a clever idea!

I will have to make one of these

great idea

This is the best idea so far. The only things I don't have are the PVC pipe. Thanks! I may have posted earlier but was looking for this one and just happened to have it in my favorites.

What a great idea, this is going on a to do list.

I have the Jennoops frame. After using it for awhile I have discovered that it works OK on small quilts. BUT I am going to build the three sided frame to see if it will better support larger quilts, especially the sides. Most of my quilts end up full sized or larger. Even after I keep saying "NO MORE LARGE QUILTS".

This is such a great idea, that I thought some new quilters might like to see what crafty quilters can come up with to help with the weight of a quilt while trying to do FMQ on a domestic machine.

I am thinking about something like this just to help with the weight of the quilt while I sew on binding, which I do all by machine. I would have to have a circular shower curtain holder so my rings kept sliding around. Right now, my quilts all try to slide off to the floor, and this is using a dining table.

wow that is so cool, what kind of machine do you have and what size quilt have you FMQ with it.. I am looking to buy a new machine for quilting and maybe use it for some piecing too..

Thank you, I think you could use it on any size. I have used this thing for everything. Just finished a pp (My 1st) to hold all the parts in order. I

The hoops with the Jennoops are just the strap fabric sewn onto itself and those slip onto the PVC. No reason to use shower clamps. There is an extension piece and I bought a corner piece to connect that to the main piece to create a left frame. I am debating about getting more PVC to make a leg there to give a little more support to the corner.

You can also screw the hooks into a wall behind your sewing machine and then you don't need the frame. Works great for me.

Thank you for posting this! I

Kate,
Thank you for posting this information. I didn't like the quilt suspension system that I was using, so you inspired me to build one out of pvc today. I had to configure mine a little differently so that it would work for my space. I think that I may need to push the tubes into a few of the connectors a little more. I haven't tried it out yet, but I like the look of it.

I have a few questions please. Does your frame wobble a little when you use it? Did you use any adhesive in the joints? If so, what kind? Have you made any modifications since you first posted this?

Thank you!
Jill

Kate Henry,
You are genius for suggesting this method! I was this close to buying an expensive frame blah blah... till i stumbled across this Pinterest Post by a member.[ATTACH=CONFIG]571524[/ATTACH]

I want to just thank you again bc even after 6 years of posting the idea/tip, the was someone like me who had benefitted from it and saved tons of money ��

When one thinks of shipping costs by purchasing the hoops. this is by all counts a money saver. PVC is a great idea for many different ideas.

Ididn't glue as never know when it may be moved or need to be changed in some way. I haven't had mine up for months and i sure do miss it. It does wobble a bit if, but i fined ways to stabilize it. Hope you can get it solid

The "Weightless Quilter" is a contraption something like that, but she had it around a card table. There is only a rack on the floor with uprights holding the quilt. There were two weights of uprights. You could use the thin ones for light quilts, the thicker ones for heavier quilts and both together for really heavy quilts.

Can someone give me some directions how to make the suspenders for the system. Hubby wantedme to get some from jennoop. Have tried to call them with no answer.

That is fantastic! Every time I see something like this, it makes me want to buy a mid-arm.

There’s also this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/rhondab...-up-quilt/amp/

I did 2 bungee cords hanging from 2 eye screws in the ceiling and tied a clamp at both ends...works great, very little expense..the clamps I ordered from a quilting site...they are for the ends of the long arm quilting set up, to clamp the sides of the quilt to keep taute,,I tried to find clamps at several stores, but they were too hard to open..these that I got are fantastic...keeps a king size quilt up at the back of my sit down quilting machine...good luck with yours..l

This looks great! Thanks for sharing this one. Looks like my next trip out will be for some additional PVC pipe and joints. Looks real good.

Great job! I am sure it's much easier to work on your projects now! Happy sewing!

What an awesome setup. Thanks for sharing.

Canvas straps
 

How long and wide did you make your canvas straps? I didnt see it in the description? I may have missed it I apologize if I did ! This is AMAZING I can not wait to get started making this I have so many quilts just waiting to be quilted and its literally impossible to do it on my sewing machine without something like this and they do make something similar but it's almost $400.00 and when your on a fixed income that's just out of the question so Thank you for this its definitely within my reach!!! You are an angel for sharing!!!♥️♥️♥️♥️

Brilliant!!!!

Very inventive! Wrestling these huge quilts is getting tougher as the years go by! Thanks for the pictures!

Thank you! I might try rigging up something like this. PVC pipe is awesome stuff. :)
