You might hear these referred to as lap frames and floor frames, respectively. Quilting frames for hand quilters come in two varieties: those for one person and those made to accommodate many people working simultaneously. And it makes no difference if you prefer to quilt by hand or machine, as there are models suitable for each. These devices hold the layers of your quilt taut so that you can sew through them without the hassle, curses, and weeping. Quilting can be a relaxing, almost meditative hobby - at least, until you're wrestling with pieces of fabric more than 90 inches long on a side in the attempt to join them all together neatly. Geared more toward cross-stitch, it can potentially be used for very small quilting projects it doesn't feel as stable as the bigger Quilter's Wonder, however, making the latter the better choice. Finally, we removed the Edmunds Stitcher's Wonder. Of course, they're for working on smaller areas at one time, but this makes them easier to store, too. If these larger frames are all outside of the budget, we'd suggest the Dritz Quilt-N-Go or the Edmunds Quilter's Wonder Hoop. It actually includes the Juki TL2000Qi, which helps explain its rather hefty price tag - that, and the brand's reputation for quality products. We also added another machine-ready model, the Juki Grace Q-Zone. That's because the SR-2 is made for use with a sewing machine, whereas the EZ3 is not. For many, we still think the Grace Start-Right EZ3 and Grace SR-2 are fine choices, with the latter being the more expensive option. Or, if you just want to give up the grudge altogether and skip straight to the prize at the end of the game, then why not jump over to our list of patchwork quilts?Ĭhoosing a quilting frame usually comes down to two variables, size and cost, so we've tried to cover a range for quilters with various needs. Quilting frames are great for budgeted hobbyists and traditionalists who prefer to quilt by hand, but if money isn’t an issue and you want to start seeing some quicker turnaround times on these projects, then you might be interested in checking out our list of long-arm quilting machines. A separately purchased extension kit is even available, for those interested in making king-sized quilts.
5560-G, on the other hand, has an extendable width that tops out at 90 inches, making it a suitable selection for big projects and tag-team quilting duos. Our second new choice, the Frank Edmunds & Co. We liked the flexibility afforded by this model’s 360-degree rotation range and adjustable height, but we also recognized that, due to its relatively narrow width, it might be a bit on the small side for some bigger blankets, making it better suited to embroidery (as the name suggests), wall-hanging quilts and similar. Our first new pick this time around was the Greensen Embroidery Stand, which assumed a spot close to the middle of our list. We removed the Sew Easy 20 Centimeter and Grace SR-2, noticing that neither were available at the time of this writing, and believing that the latter brand was already receiving decent representation on our list through our inclusion of the Grace Start-Right EZ3 and Grace Juki TL2000Q. Most of our choices from our last visit to this list still appeared to be good selections for the category, so there wasn’t a ton for us to do during this round of updates, but some shuffling was still necessary.
