- Making your own portable quilt frame is easy and inexpensive to do, and is simple to set up and simple to store.
Supplies:
4 pine boards that measure 1" x 3" and are 8' long (or shorter)
2 sheets sandpaper: 100 grit (or something close to it), 200 grit (or something close to it)
large fabric scrap (twin size flat sheet preferable)
tape measure
scissors
electric staple gun with staples, or a hammer and tacks/nails with heads on them
4 C-clamps, either 2" or 3"

Please leave me a comment and let me know how your frames turn out.
So interesting she tells it like it is without alot of stupid talk we see on alot of videos thanks keep up the great work
Thank you for watching!
Ditto. Lots of YT tutorials might as well start "I was born..." I don't want to hear the Great American Novel about how you came up with this, or what got you started on quilting. With many DIY tutorials, I have to turn the speed up to 1.5 or 1.75.
One woman recorded a live interactive show, and she kept stopping to say hello to every single person that logged into the session.So I REALLY appreciated the "right down to brass tacks" approach of this one.
Also, thank you for not adding a music track. Background music is an addition to videos that just presents an accessibility barrier for people with auditory disabilities.
tl;dr: This is awesome, and so well done. Thank you!
Thank YOU for great advice to us who want to revive the lost art of hand quilting
Thank you for watching!
Nice video. Many years ago I made my own as well but I do not like the fabric strip so I did not put it on. I have made many quilts through the years and yes there are some times holes from the tacks but they are always covered up when I finish the edges. Keep the videos coming good lady.
My hubby is making mine out of pvc pipes but you can make them out wood too looks great!
Just the fact that you'll have frames is quite exciting! Thanks for watching!
Happy quilting!!!
I found canvas was a great strip for pinning and holding. I am looking for a bigger board to show my husband to build. My board was baby size.

Canvas is a great idea! Good to know when I replace the fabric strips on my boards!
I think if you put the vertical wood with the stapled fabric down and horizontal stable fabric up, your material will lie flat at the corners.
Good video but wouldn't it a whole lot easier to use legs to support the frame? That's what I do. I would've loved to see you using the frame. I think you must have the frame resting on your under arm which I think would be uncomfortable? Also I'm not sure why you say 8 ft boards or shorter. The boards should be longer than the dimensions of the quilt top. 8 ft won't accomodate a full, queen, or king size bed, for my current quilt my boards are 10 ft.BTW I love my 4 stick frame.
yarnexpress, thanks for watching! Yes, it would be a whole lot easier to use a standing quilt frame; in the third video, I show how I rest one end of the frame on the sofa and the other end on my lap as I sit to quilt. And, you're right about using longer boards for bigger quilts; I use 8 foot boards because if they were any longer, I couldn't manage storage or set up. I use my living room as a temporary quilting space and store my quilt on the frame in another room in between stitching sessions
Wow! Thank you!!!
WILL THIS BE ADJUSTABLE FOR TWIN TO KING SIZE BEDS SO JUST CURIOUS IF ITS ADJUSTABLE
Thank you for watching the video. These 8 foot boards will not accommodate a twin size piece of fabric.They are mostly for throw blankets. Twin size sheets measure 96 inches x 66 inches, which is 8 feet x 5.5 feet (and these boards are 8 feet maximum). If you want a twin, full, or queen size blanket, you'll need to get 9 foot boards, which allow for space at the end of the boards for overlapping and clamping. King size would require 10 foot boards. Hope this helps!
Im using woodprix instructions to make it and I do it already :)
Awesome to me.
Where is part 2 and 3?
