Hi my name is Anna I'm finally ready to jump back into quilting its been a long time about 8 years but now I have a lot of time on my hands since my accident and I am getting really board with the computer need to see something real out of using my hands. Only problem is I don't have a quilt frame so I would ap prediate it if someone could post a basic patern for one on here since I can't work I need something inexpensive to build. My friend is very handy so he could use scrap lumber to construct it just need a plan for him to get started.
Thanks
Thanks

Hello and welcome from Ontario. I know that there very basic handquilting frames are made from 4 2X4's and some clamps, but there are lots of others people have made too. Good luck finding a plan for yours.

Also, if using one of these frames it is a good idea to use the quick grip clamps. The ones you just have to squeeze the handle and they tighten up. Lots quicker.
Or you could find a PVC pipe frame at a estate/garage sale for $5 like I did.

Good luck!
PS, I grew up not far from Darien Lake and went to the amusement park several times. Welcome from an old New Yorker!
