    Default quilt frame on carpet

    What you you suggest to put under a quilt frame (just got a Grace Q-Zone Queen) on a carpeted floor? want to protect the carpet and keep the frame level. I have looked at mats that are designed to go under exercise equipment, mats for desk chairs - but not sure. Not something I thought about before I started to put it together.

    My long arm frame sits on carpet - the feet have levelling pieces and they sink in to the carpet. It's been in place for at least 7 years and no problems. I intend to change the carpet for laminate flooring in the future so I am not worried about putting significant dents in the carpet.

    I have the Original Grace Frame and just set it on the carpet. It is not operational right now. (my machine needs a bit of repair). I guess I never thought about putting anything under the legs.

    Now you got me curious... protect the carpet from what?
    Do you have something between all your tables, chairs, sofas, etc and the carpet? Maybe use something similar.

    My longarm used to be on carpet. I used furniture caster cups like these - https://www.amazon.com/Furniture-Dur...38538057&psc=1

    Thanks all. I wanted something under the legs to protect the carpet and thought it would make it more stable. I like te furniture caster cups - not sure why I didn't think of those - have them under chairs on my hardwood floors!
