Abstract
A quilting frame for the purpose of both free hand and machine quilting consisting of a pair of frame ends (21 and 22) supporting three rods (25, 26, and 27). The rods (25, 26, and 27) hold material to be quilted. As the quilting process progresses, the material is wound onto the take-up rod (25). The proper tension for both hand and hand-machine guided quilting is applied to each piece of material mounted on the rods through clutch assemblies (55). The quilt frame is adjustable for both tilt and height using assemblies 60 and 65 respectively. The adjustment technique is simple and easy to perform, facilitating both hand and home machine quilting.
Claims2
A quilting frame system employing a roller clutch assembly comprising, a roller clutch component secured within a housing which is supported internally within a frame member in such a manner as to allow the housing to rotate freely or to be locked in place within the frame member, allowing for a shaft passing through the roller clutch component to rotate freely in both directions when the housing is not locked in place within the frame member and to rotate in only one direction when the housing is locked in place within the frame member.
