I learned how to do it here http://www.ehow.com/way_5387176_home...lt-frames.html (english)
When I finish a sectión I dismount the four bolts and roll the sandwich until a new unquilted section is set. You can see in my album the set up. http://www.quiltingboard.com/members...27-461308.html
Enjoy your treasure!

I just looked at your picture again and if you have the quilt/back/batting pinned or fastened to all four sides - it won't work. You should only have the two long sides fastened. Leave the two short rows free - then put some temporary strips of fabric fastened to the rails to keep the sides taut while quilting. As you roll it up, then you re-position the sides. HTH

I have a frame like that. The boards should be attached with something that can be removed so you and roll the quilt and then refasten the board. Quilted like that with my granny for years. We used C-clamps to hold the boards together. Have fun.

One of the ladies in our quilting group brought one like this for our group to use on a quilt for the family of one of our ladies who died. Her picture was in the middle. Not sure what we did wrong but there was a big bubble in the middle. She had to take it home and redo the center while it was half quilted. I know she had all four sides attached and rolled two sides from we got some finished. I can't get as small a stitch with this type of frame. Guess I'm just more used to quilting in my lap.

It is how my mother quilted and how I still quilt bed size quilts. Recently, because I live alone,I discovered how to rollup the sandwiched quilt without help from someone or losing the tautness, This is providing I started on one end of the quilt. I use another board and two more C clamps. I do not undo any of the corner C clamps but add this new board mid section or the position I want to roll to, then fasten with C clamps, then loosen the area corner clamps on the quilted end and rollup and secure again. then remove pins on the sides enough to roll. Roll up and tighten up again. I can either remove the center board since all four corners are secure or leave it depending on how much space I have left myself to quilt. It is so nice to be able to do this unassisted. I am blessed to have large rooms with tall ceilings to set up a frame like this in an old Victorian house.

I was browsing the internet tonight and happened to find the following website on how to make a PVC quilt frame, light weight and easily movable. Just thought I would share with you.

My tenant from upstairs, my granddaughter and even the piano tuner were put into action. Now I know how to do it myself. Thanks.
