A hand quilting frame allows you to quilt without the need for basting. The frame also allows you to precisely tension the quilt top and backing independently so that layers are flat and smooth, ready to quilt without puckering. Quilt frames can be a beautiful addition to your living or sewing rooom where your handiwork can be admired.
With a hand quilting frame you can quilt from one end to the other, winding the quilt on to the front rail as you go. It is normal to have more than one needle and thread on the go and also to learn techniques for quilting in different directions as you move rather than the frame!
