    I have one , its still in the box but fully intend to use it. Got it at Joann's 50 % off. Had an Ulmer quilting frame and sold it to one of my friends. I didn't care for it that much.

    Never seen one of these before, does it have the tubing all the way around the top to hold the quilt??
    Looks like it would be quite useful for hand quilting, might be worth looking into..hmmm

    It is used for hand quilting and seems like a good thing if you hand quilt a lot, I do not typically hand quilt and the few times I have I use a hoop. It is pretty large so you need room for it.

    I have one of those frames that I use for tying quilts like others have said. I'm not able to get on the floor to work on quilts anymore so this frame helps. Blessings Kathryn

    It's hand quilting frame; I have one and liked it when I used it, I don't have alot of floor space in my home, so to leave something even that size 'up' something else has to be moved..... I hand quilt without a hoop now,. I'm keeping mine, because I won't always live in a 'cozy' house.

    Besides being a quilting frame, as someone else said, it makes a great frame for hanging blankets to make a tent/house for the kids to play in/under.

    My son appropriated mine to make a box lined with fabric for some of his photography projects.

    I did use one similar to it (before they made the tiltable version) and liked it - but not enough to leave it up.

    The quilt still needs to be sandwiched and pinned or basted before being put on this thing.
