EZ3 Quilting frame ??
My DH got me the Grace EZ3 quilting frame for Christmas. Today I tried to attach fabric with the tubing to no avail. So I worked it without fabric. After 45 minutes, broken nails, skun fingers and many choice words I got the tubing in and not sure I ever want to take it out again. hehe Will it always be this difficult? If so I don't think this frame is going to work for me. CAn anyone give me any tips to make that job much easier?

I can't attach anything tightly without using the tubing. It just spins. The tubing is what holds the leaders in place on the metal rods. I did email the Grace Company. I'm just glad I don't need the frame just yet. But am quite sad just the same.
I just started quilting about a year ago. My biggest project was a king size quilt for our bed using the Trip around the World pattern. Not sure I want to do anything that big again. But it did turn out quite nice if I do say so myself.

I purchased the leaders from grace company that Velcro onto the poles then you just pin your fabric to leaders, so much easier and straighter! If it's too costly you can make your own leaders and buy the stick on Velcro at home improvement store, much cheaper to purchase there than at craft store. You will be much happier!

I got one of these frames off Craig's List. It didn't come with the tool and some of the tubing is missing. I made some leaders but haven't got them installed. I was wondering about trying to use cording instead of replacing the tubing. It sounds like maybe I should just head out and buy Velco.
