Would this frame work for hand tying quilts? I know you can easily make home made frames, but this is for someone can only work in a chair.

My wife is 77 years old and plans to give them away because she finds it difficult to use them.

This should work for you. I've used these for lots of cross stitching projects, and I love the portability of the frames.

While my mother made such a quilt she did not have a frame and I have not made one so haven't tried mounting one on a frame. However, the way it is constructed there should be no reason you can't do this since you can simply skip the middle roller. And, my next quilt will be to work with the backing up (as opposed to down) for the middle part of the quilt, then reverse it to mount as one piece to quilt the margins on the top side. This should be similar to what you would do with a levi quilt. If you can attach it to the leader you should be able to mount it.

Hi Monica, This frame is for holding material from the top to the bottom not to hold anything on the sides. It could hold sting if you wrapped it around the slots on top and as you worked down you could roll your beaded part up to give more room but only to work vertically, not circular or horizontally outward from the edge of the frame. You could work pieces of the length though and attach the sides of the worked pieces together. It could look like a solid piece if you measured it just right. If you use an elastic type of stringing thread it will be able to adjust to the curves of the drum. It could be done but I think a round size hoop would be easier. I hope this will help.

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

Best if used on a stationary outdoor chair or for interior maybe sew ties on each corner?

i just bought mine for crafting, but i think if you weaved it in & out and close together cause its thin but somewhat strong , i guess it probably could work..

I wouldn't. I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop. For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam. It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive. I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier. Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion. Have fun!

Yes I have a quilt on mine now and it does fold up. Of course with a quilt on it it is not perfectly flat but pretty close. I fold mine up every time I am not sewing on the quilt and store it behind a couch. . It's lightweight and easy to handle. Right now I have the width on the frame for a 90 inch quilt and I can still carry it into another room if I need to. It is long though and a little awkward because of the length but it is not heavy. I am quite happy with the frame overall.

You could use it to keep the two parts of fabric closed for a temporary solution. But you probably couldn't fit the stitches through the button's holes for a lasting solution. The stitches are very short.

I think the description of the item says there was no way to attach a headboard. I certainly did not see anything on this most basic of frames. I got around this by making an upholstered headboard which I attached to a wall with a "hangman" type hanger that can be found in your big box stores. My opinion is that the frame is too thin to be able to attach the typical headboard.

I have a queen size quilt. 2 full size quilts and a lap quilt on mine. It's a well made sturdy frame. I believe you will be okay with the denim quilt.

I think it could do a twin sized quilt without any problems. Probably bigger as well. I will try to get the dimensions when I get home and update.

No, it doesn't. You can move the frame to whatever part of the quilt that you are working on. Hope that helps. Hard to explain, but I love my frame!

I don't think so. It would be too hard to handle if the piece is very big. The sticky also becomes hard to peel if left on the fabric too long.How big is your piece? A very light tearaway would be your best bet. I use the sulky iron on too. It's very nice and doesn't get too sticky.

I'm a quilter and love it! Not to worry, it's not too much steam. And you can adjust it if you want, although I always use it full strength. Just remember (as with any iron) to press, not iron, your blocks open.
