YOU WILL NEED TO PURCHASE:
5 pieces of 1-1/4” thin wall metal conduit (EMT) cut to your preferred
length for the rollers. (Maximum 120”)
DETERMINING YOUR ROLLER LENGTH:
Determine the width of the widest quilt you would like to make on the
frame. Add min. 8” to that width for your final roller length. The extra 8” allows
for extra room for your machine at the sides of the quilt. You also may want to
have an open space at the end of your frame to wheel your machine out from
under the quilt for maintenance.
If you would like to have 2 sets of rollers, we have a hardware package
available. Please call (319) 378-0999 or visit our website at
www.hinterberg.com.
OPTIONAL TEMPLATE SURFACE:
A 1/2” x 8” pine board, cut 1-½” longer than your roller length can be used
for a template board surface.
Pre-patterned grooved template boards are available from us at an addi-
tional cost. Board length fits 10’ rollers. A 1/2” x 8” pine board is required to
support the grooved template board.
STAINING & FINISHING:
Applying a stain and finish to the frame is optional. It will not harm it to
leave it unfinished. If you wish to stain or finish your frame, it is easier to do
before you assemble it. What stain you use depends on your own prefer-
ence, but we recommend using a penetrating oil base wipe-on stain or a
combination stain/polyurethane for best results. Since there are moving
parts on your frame, we do not recommend any finish like varnish or shel-
lac that build up on the surface of the wood.
