Chapter1
TableThis is a 12 foot version of my quilting
frame. In this chapter we will construct the table top and legs. This table is being built
for use with a machine with a 9” harp. It will be 24” wide. If you desire a longer arm machine simply increase the length of the cross member supports to 30” or so! You will need two 2X6X12’ pcs of lumber, two
1X4X12’ boards, Four 1X4X24” boards and two 1X4X25 ½” boards. A set of table legs and a package of #8X1 ½” deck screws.
Start by laying out two pieces of 2X6X12 lumber on the floor , spacing them so that your cross members
will be flush with the outer sides of the table.

Mark each 2X6 at each end
at 12” and 20 ½”
Install one 24” cross member at the 12” line at
each end of table and fasten it with only one 8 X 1 ½”
deck screw at each corner. This will allow us to square
it up in the next step.

Now measure diagonally from corner to corner
making sure both measurements are the same. Tap the frame
diagonally to adjust it until it is square!
Now install another screw at each corner to lock things in.

Use a level to ensure that the legs are standing up
straight.
