Attaching the Quilt to the Frame-Part 3 of 3

- Part 3 - A continuation of Part 2. When you've extended your hand stitching as far as you can reach comfortably, it's time to roll the quilt. In this video, I'll show you how to roll the bottom-end board of the quilt frame under to allow you to continue hand quilting your design. Then I'll show you how you can easily rest your quilt frame on a sofa to quilt your design until you make your own frame stands, if you don't already have a way to set your frame on something.

@karenkavanagh9372
Thank you for your kind words!
Thank you for watching, and best wishes on your quilting bee!
I usually tape my quilt pieces to the floor to pin and prepare them for quilting on the sewing machine...this is SO much easier than crawling around on the floor and trying to hurry before some one steps all over them!! I had one my late husband prepared for me some 30 years ago! Now that I've taken up the hobby again and found your videos, my second hubby was off to the store today for boards and clamps for me!! he bought me beautiful smooth boards , too- no sanding! Thanks, you've been helpful!
Wow. I absolutely love these videos. I never knew a quilt frame could go together so nicely, inexpensively and then be conveniently stored instead of taking up a half acre of space until the quilt is finished. I am very happy to have found your posts.
Excellent!!! I too enjoy quilting in a good ole fashion "stick frame" So good to see someone -you- put together a video showing this wonderful art form. Would love to see some of your quilts.
Forgot to add, my 17 year old daughter Jessica is learning with me as we go on Jeremiahs blue jean quilt. We are watching yours and others videos and figuring it out together. She's tickled, I'm tickled, and we are having family fun bonding time. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the videos...I am a beginner at this and really needed to see these instructions!
I'm glad these videos help! Way back when I made them, there were only a handful of instructions available on TH-cam. Since then, there are a lot more! Thanks for choosing mine!
These demos are absolutely the best.
I really appreciate your comments! Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for doing these videos. I'm repairing a quilt my grandmother made 50 years ago that needed new batting, back and binding. This will be my first quilt I have done on a frame. Thank you for explaining it so clearly. Let's hope it will be as easy as it looks.
Thank you for the videos. I am brand new to sewing and am trying to make a blue jean quilt for my 18 year old son. He goes through so many jeans because he's so rough on them but I hate throwing away the whole pair because there is a lot of good material left on them. My husband bought me a new singer 6100 sewing machine two years ago and I've been staring at it ( for two years.) Waiting to get up the nerve to figure out how to use the dang thing. Watching your, and other peoples videos has finally convinced me that I need to just do it now and figure it out. I grew up in the country and my great grandmother had a giant quilting frame that was rolled up and suspended from the ceiling. As a kid it looked like a medieval instrument of torture and I had no idea how the thing worked but I always wondered how it worked. Watching you video now I know how quilting tool works. Thank you, thank you!
Awesome, awesome videos. I belong to a hand quilting group at my church and we use frames just like these but I have never learned how to put a quilt in. You have just taken the mystery out of this for me. Thank you so much.
Thank you for doing these videos. I watched my grandmother quilt on this type of frame in her living room years ago. I'm now wanting to use her set up but she's no longer living to ask how she did it. Her Singer 27 was given to me this year for my birthday and I found her c-clamps in a drawer. All of her quilts were full or queen and she had a small space to work. I think she wrapped her quilt sandwich around the top board to feed it off as she quilted along the bottom. Now that I know how to set it up, I'm eager to get the boards so I can get away from using a 14 inch round frame for my larger projects.
Thank you so much for this excellent tutorial. Many, many years ago my aunt helped me make a quilt but I didn't remember the finer points of the quilting frame. This was so helpful as I am trying to help my daughter make a quilt now.
Thank you for your comment! I hope this video series helps! Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for these instructionals!
Thank you for watching!
Thank you for this set of videos. I can't believe that I have found the quilt frame that my dad made for my mom. And then the added gift of how to attach the fabric to it. I subscribed in hopes that as you finish your quilts you will shoot a short video and let us see what you have done. Thank you so much.
This is exactly how my Memom and great Grandma Sullivan's quilting frames looked/ looks like, I still have them. Since childhood I can recall the frames hanging from the ceiling by a sturdy twine. I'm finishing a quilt at this moment.
I love it! It's so nice to hear that quilting carries on in families as a treasured tradition! Thanks for watching!
Your video was excellent. I recently became interested in hand quilting but wanted to make my own frame. I remember playing under my mother and grand mothers frame's but I didn't know how to put rhe frame together. Wonderful instructions!!
Thank you for this exceptional series. I've the boards but no idea how to correctly do this.
@DavidHudson-x2g
I'm glad this can be of help! Good luck, and thanks for watching!
This is GENIUS!!!! I have been racking my brain trying to figure out how I was going to get this quilt finished without stands. Thank you so much for making videos.
This is one of the best YT instructional videos on any topic that I've seen. Thanks so much: I already have all the tools I need for this, and now I just need to bop down to Lowe's for the lumber.
One question: can I use unbleached muslin instead of a sheet for the strips that are stapled to the top and bottom boards? It's coarser, but I don't have a disposable sheet. I do, however, have a 50' roll of 54" wide muslin, so there wouldn't be any seams.
Sure! Any extra fabric will work, even if you need to piece it. But no seams on the strips would be ideal.
Good luck and let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for inviting me to view your quilting playlist (and including me in it)! I'm always interested in learning how to improve my skills. I like your selection of videos!
thank you so much. I can now finish my quilts.
I'm glad these videos could be of help! Thanks for watching!
You have done a fabulous job!
Excellent video tutorial. So clear and thorough. I can do this! Thank you.
Thank you for sharing and easily understood. Your a great teacher!
This is Brilliant!!! Great DIY for hubby to make as a Christmas Present! I love this!! Thank you! ♥♥
Thank you so much! I'm ready to try and begin building my quilting frame this weekend!
Thank you for watching! And thanks for the idea of another video!
Until I acquire or make some quilt stands, I rest one end of the quilt on the sofa and the other end on my lap as I sit in a chair in the middle of the room (facing the sofa) to stitch and work my way across the quilt. For larger quilts, I rest the far end of the quilt on a chair (instead of the sofa) and the other end on my lap.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing this❤
Thank you for the great tutorial video. Clear and concise. I will put away the Edmond's 5560-D frame I am trying to put together (without all the hardware) and use your instructions to make a space saving frame.
Thank you for sharing this. I was wondering how I was going to be able to to quilt without sending it away..(too expensive) or spending half a fortune on making a one. THIS is an easy acceptable alternative.
I've been searching all day for instructions on how to use antique quilt frames. Your videos are so thorough and clear, but I'd really like to know how to use mine. Any recommendations for a video which might give instructions for very old frames?
Hi! Thank you for watching the videos! I'm not sure what you mean by "old" quilting frames, but you might check out, "Setting up a quilt the old way" on TH-cam, if you haven't already. But if you wouldn't mind, please let me know how yours are different from mine. I like learning about other types of frames, and how they're used. Thanks again!
@@mysweetpetals They are two long pieces(for the quilt length) of pine and two shorter pieces (for the width) of pine. They all have small tacks along the top. There are holes at various spaces in each. They were originally hung from the ceiling and were attached to each other through the holes with a large nail (or peg) at each corner. In later years, they were used with a sort of horse in the middle of each of the long sticks (for support), which were also attached with large nails (or peg). Because my room is too small, I have decided that I'll need to use an oval hoop (also antique).
I'm finishing the top of my first quilt, hand sewn, soon. Love the idea of making a stretching frame but dreading the actual quilting as my kitties will make this impossible! I also am not able to sit and move around on the floor to do that part either. To be young and healthy again!
Congratulations on your first quilt top! Finishing the top is half the battle. I guess we do whatever we can to make our projects work! Maybe using a hoop would work to stitch your quilt. Good luck! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching! Quite a task you're undertaking, but well worth it! Good luck!
Very helpful and empowering videos, thank you. I was expecting to have to buy an expensive frame, or else make a complicated one.
I'm glad they could be of some help! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for watching this video. You're right, the batting wrinkled because it wasn't quilted yet. When you quilt anywhere on the fabric but especially near the edges, the batting will stay smoothly between the top and backing fabric.
I'd be interested in seeing your quilt when finished. Please post a picture. Thanks again!
Thanks for a great tutorial! Well done. Very clear. I need to quilt a king sized quilt. Is there anything extra I should know to work with this large size? I will be setting it up as a community project with elderly women.
Thank you for watching! I love my frames; so easy! My most recent quilts are pictured on the website (listed above in the description) with another one on the frame that will be pictured shortly, after its finished. All the other ones I've finished (not pictured) have either been sold, or given as gifts. But that's the fun of it, right? Make it and share it!
I noticed that the blue batting seemed to wrinkle when you rolled it under. Will that affect the quilt when finished or was it just because it wasn't actually quilted together yet. I'm considering using your video to make a small frame for my Hawaiian style quilted wall hanging. It would be much smaller than yours as it is only 22 inches square.
If i wanted to use this frame for a quilting bee with one person on each side, would i just roll up the fabric and unroll as we made our way across?
@karenparks3170
I have always worked from one end to another, usually from the bottom to the top, to ensure even stitches with little puckering in the center, by the time I reach the top.
Working from the bottom, let's say, you could have two quilters at the bottom, moving towards the top, and one quilter on each side. I probably wouldn't have one at the top.
Three sides would be working at the same time, and you would be rolling the quilt when the bottom quilters had stitched as far as they could reach. Does that make sense? If so, I hope it works well!
thanks for the great videos. I want to finish a quilt and not take it to a quilter, this is a great way to tighten all the layers and then tie off or whatever.
what do you sit the frame on?
Where does the machine go? So that 8 ft piece is laying in front of you? We need some pictures
This frame is for hand quilting after its placed on stands. It isn't designed for a long arm machine to be attached for quilting. Hope this helps!
Did you remove the pins at the end before rolling?
Yes, I removed the pins as I rolled the end under, so the sides are loose .
Thanks for watching!
Do you quilt on the floor?
+Quilterbee Tarpley
No, I rest one end of the quilt (on the frame) on a chair or sofa, and sit at the other end to quilt; or vice versa. Near the end of this video, I show how I set up my quilt for stitching. Until I get an official quilt stand, this is how I stitch my quilts. Thanks for watching!
