I am no doubt dated myself with this question; however, the stretcher
frame in my book is a frame of laths with the sharp ends of the nails UP and these frames were used to dry the lace or see through flimpsy curtains that were at the living room of our homes. Actually, after WWII, I borrowed my mother-in-laws old one (had to climb through junk in their garage to get the pieces) that was not to carefully stored away. But I stretched or placed the back of the quilt, then the cotton filler and the top and quilted my first, second, third and fourth quilts in that manner. They were replaced by something triple the price and so much more convenient that NONE of us would want to go back to the "good old day."

THEN I can go back to what I love doing.....QUILTing. Yes I am shouting about it.

My first quilting frame is like this. I have very small finishing nails on
the top side of the wood. You place the layers of the quilt onto these nails to hold the quilt in place. It's really not the best way to quilt. If you accidentally lean on the frame a little too hard while quilting, you can rip your quilts! Don't ask me how I know this, trust me! I flipped my frame over and started using hand clamps. A very good investment on my part. Shelly "R.E. Wicker" wrote in message ...
