Quilting Frame
Simply Quilts had directions for a quilting frame this morning. I was
impressed! I have a frame sitting in the garage that I never use because you have to do all this set up that I'm just not willing to do, however this one is so simple! 2 wooden sawhorses and 2 X 2 boards a couple of bolts and voila! If you have to buy all the pieces it is under $40. If your husband already has the sawhorse brackets you can borrow (laughs) them I guess, but I think I'd rather have new ones since the whole set up is so simple. I'm sure there are directions on the Simply Quilts web page. I have gone there and they have all the programs listed by date. For those of you who have never done hand quilting because you didn't have a frame, this is great! I tried to do my hand quilting with a big hoop, but I wasn't really happy with that, so the frame is the way to go. It doesn't take up too much room - just push it up against a wall when you aren't using it, and you can EASILY take it apart when you don't have a quilt on it. I am really excited about this. Guess I'll find someone who wants that frame in my garage and build my own. Boca Jan |
LOL - DH gets that forlorn look on his face when I spend too much time in
the sewing room in the evenings. I am fortunate enough to have days for "my time" so I like to be with him in the evenings unless he needs to work. Boca Jan "Jan" wrote in message link.net... Thanks! I always like looking at other frame options. I have one, love it, but always like to look around to see if something works better or you know.... you could have two going if your hubby wasn't paying attention. ;-) Jan "Boca Jan" wrote in : Simply Quilts had directions for a quilting frame this morning.

That forelorn look is why I sew in the living room, despite the terrible nonergonomic conditions. -georg |
Bless your heart Georg, you are true blue! My hubby has an office that he
sits in most of the time, and I have my office area next to his. Since I am not working right now, I just can't sit there during the day and all evening. I can't give up staying in touch with you guys during the day! It's a real time Days Of Our Lives. LOL Anyway, he helped me set up my sewing room and he wouldn't like it if I moved my mess anywhere else. A mixed blessing for sure. Boca Jan "georg" wrote in message ...
