This frame is very versatile. Mine came with the adjustable legs (4) of them so I was able to tilt the frame from any direction. It has easy assembly and easy to tear down. I've used it now for over 3 years and the tubes still hold my quilt top tight. Very easy to use.

I am a beginning quilter and have been working together with others to learn the process.

Recently, I spent two afternoons with a friend hand-tying a baby quilt. I was amazed when she pulled out this little device - put it together, and showed me how to put the quilt into the frame. Now, you have to realize - she's 95 years old and has been using hers for MANY years. But, she assembled (and disassembled) this all by herself - it is so light and handy. I do not know how old the frame we used was, but it had held up for more than 40 quilts that she did for her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

There were several things I discovered as we worked together on tying the quilt.

1) Over time, the plastic snaps had developed cracks. This made it harder to hold the project we were working on securely. As I mentioned, she couldn't remember how old it was, just that she had made all of her quilts using it ... and trust me, she'd been quilting a long time!

2) We used a very "thin" cotton batting. If you are using a thicker batting, you will want to test out one of these to be sure that it will hold your project securely.

3) This is a great size! You can reach all areas of the quilt from the top and the bottom as you work from either side!

4) Because of the snap fittings, the very outermost edges of the quilt never end up in the where you can work on them. In our case, we weren't tying in the area, but if you need to reach all the way to the binding, this could be a problem.

5) Yes, you can sit in a chair while you work on this! Just pull it right up.

Lots of pluses, a few tiny problems, for the price, it's a very handy light-weight tool.

Edited: After reviewing my choices, I ended up purchasing (for my own long-term use) a Dritz Quilters Floor Frame - similar to this one (the one my friend had that I practised on), but allowing me to adjust both the angle and the height. This one does not permit that.

Q-Snap Floor Frame Tilts are available that will permit this one to tilt, but do not allow for height adjustment.

I heard from several sites that this was the best quilt frame around. I found it on amazon.com at a reduced price. I love the quilt frame-I was making a king size quilt and it was difficult. This frame made it so easy and the delivery was quick and efficient.

I am a beginer in quilting. The lady that is teaching me how to quilt has one and I have worked on it. It is a great item. I love that it is small enough to move it around and to move around it when I quilt. It is small enough that I can just put it in a corner when I am not working on a quilt. While I piece a quilt together I can take the frame a part and place the pieces back in the box that it came in to move it out of the way. It is great that the box comes with a plastic handle so that you may transport the frame and not have all of the pieces going everywhere. I also love that I don't have to use alot of pins to hold the quilting layers together. The snap on peices that hold the quilt to the frame holds the three layers so tight that you could bounce a quarter on it. This item is well worth the money!!!!

I borrowed one of these from a neighbor when I started quilting, and I liked it so much that I bought one for myself for Christmas. It's just the right size for me, easy to set up and take down, very convenient. I love it and highly recommend it!

the snap on frame works very well for me because i am limited on space in my home. i can move it around easily or put it away easily. the company sent it to me fast. I am very happy with the product.

Bought this for my wife. She loves it. Easy to set up (less than 5 min) It takes up less room than my grandmas old wooden one. Has a lot more surface area than her hoop. The snaps hold her Quilt securely in place.Very easy to turn or move.Anyone who quilts should try this.

I recieved this item in a timely fashion. All of the parts and pieces were there, but the instructions had a LOT to be desired. It seems as if some of the pieces are going to pop out of there sockets at any time. BUT, so far it has held up just fine. The rack gives a nice amount of space to work with. It takes a little bit to learn how to make the fabric tight. Overall, a good value.

I bought the Q-snap for my mom and she absolutely loves it! It's the perfect height and width and easy for her to move around. I recommend this product for anyone who does quilting.
