Size of the frame:
The frame is 28" from front to rear. (38" with front roller up). It can be a maximum of 10' wide which will hold a standard king size quilt..
Rollers:
You purchase the rollers for your frame locally. The material you buy is called 1-1/4" thinwall metal conduit. It is available at most building supply stores such as Home Depot, Lowe's, Menards etc. In most cases the store personnel will cut the rollers to length.
The rollers are around $15.00 each.
The rollers are integral to the structure of the frame. The sturdiness and smoothness of our frame stems from the fact that we use these large-diameter rollers with no connectors or joints. It would be prohibitively expensive for us to ship these rollers to customers. Therefore the customer is getting a very sturdy quilting set-up and saving money at the same time.
We have been using the conduit for the roller material in our Easy Build Kits for over 10 years and haven't had problems with it yet. It is very strong and will last the life of your frame.
Very recently, we have developed a package for sale separately from the frame which allows the customer to use a ¾ " thinwall conduit roller for the rear quilt roller. With this smaller-size roller in the throat of the sewing machine, it reduces the bulk of the quilt and allows for more machine movement. Please call for more information. 1-800-443-5800.
Carriage (18"x8-1/4"):
The carriage holds your sewing machine. The carriage rolls under the quilt and is supported by two rollers. The carriage is wooden and uses precision grade sealed bearings as wheels. These top quality bearings make the carriage movement extremely smooth.

Weight Capacity of Carriage:
We have tested it with up to 200 lbs. with no problems. This carriage is sturdy enough for any machine.
Sewing Machine:
Our frame is designed to work with any sewing machine. The larger the throat depth on your machine, the more quilting area you will have. The throat depth is defined as the distance between the needle and the inside of the machine, or where you would normally bunch your material when quilting without a frame.
We increased the size of our sewing area recently. Now our Machine Frame can hold a machine with up to a 10" throat depth. The Stretch Machine Frame can hold a machine with up to a 16" throat depth for a larger quilting area

Five year warranty against manufacturers defects. If any part fails, just send it back to us for a free replacement.
You may return your frame within 60 days for a full refund of your purchase price, not including shipping.
