Quilt Frames?

[9patchfav]

I am seeking advice on quilting frames. I would like one that I don't have to baste with. One that can be used for hand quilting...do they make one that works for hand and machine? I was looking at the Grace EZ3 FF and the A44...machine and frame is out of my price range.

Thanks for your help. 1quiltinnana has told me about the PVC one. Thanks again to you all.

With it being the holidays, it might take longer for someone to see this and post on it.

Whatever you decide please share with the rest of us.

Right now, I'm still getting comfortable with machine quilting without a frame. Not sure I would have room for it anyway.

9patch - the good thing about the PVC one is that you can take it apart quickly for storage. I saw a quilter using one at a quilt show. When she needed to work on a different section she just picked up the frame and turned it without even getting out of her chair. She did beautiful quilting with it.

I have one of the PVC ones that cindyg mentioned and I have used that for hand quilting and it works just fine. I like that you can tilt the frame toward you so it makes it more comfortable to sit at. It is very easy to set up and take down which another thing I like about it. I have since begun to do machine quilting on my home sewing machine without a frame but I would eventually like to get a machine quilting frame for a midarm machine.
