Put your quilt in the frame and pin baste it for machine quilting. Much easier than on the floor or bending over a table. I have the PVC white plastic floor frame and I pin baste my quilt on it. I can set down and pin or thread baste my quilt. I use to have a no baste frame and I loaned it out, never to be seen again (divorce and frame disappeared) so I use the PVC one and I have to re position the quilt top but it works great for basting.

Yeah, the floor PVC frame is the least expensive of the floor frames and the no basting frames are the 3 or 4 pole wooden floor frames.

I have a PVC frame that I mail ordered years ago while I was in Germany. I used it to hand quilt but I never thought about using it to pin baste quilts for machine quilting. Thanks for the info, I will have to give it a try. I don't do much hand quilting anymore because of arthritis so I have started practicing machine quilting.
