I just bought a Jasmine hand quilting frame, used, on Craigslist. I have been looking for a couple of years now. I really had my heart set on the Jasmine one and of course anytime I would see one for sale, it would be thousands of miles from me. I couldn't afford to buy a new one ($600.00) yikes! Even if I could afford it, I didn't want to spend that much, just in case it doesn't work out like I hope. I am a little intimidated by the instructions on loading the quilt onto the frame, any help you can offer will be appreciated.

1. It is beautiful; if you must have it in a living area, or like to quilt with your family around you, having it be attractive is a plus.
2. It takes up very little space, can be tilted vertical, flat against a wall, if needed.
3. It is a 3 rail system - no basting!!
4. Lot's of adjustment possible in height and tilt.
5. You can quilt from both sides of this frame, so if I am not able to learn to quilt away from me, I can just move to the other side when I am done with all the quilting I can do in the direction I am comfortable with. The 3rd rail moves to either side of the frame.
5. It is not a ratchet type adjustment, so it has an infinate amount of adjustment that can be made.
If interested google Jasmine Heirloom quilt frames, you can take a look at them. I also have the Jasmine easy spinner hoop that I love for smaller quilts.
