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.



Install the next 24” cross members at the 20 ½”

marks using two screws at each corner. Do this at both

ends.

Open up the table legs.



Unfold the leg assembly center it on the cross

members and attach only the main leg portion of it using four of the screws provided in the leg set.

Use a level to ensure that the legs are standing up

straight.



Now secure the leg supports with the remaining

four screws.

Install both ends of the table legs in this manner.



Now set the table on it’s side.

Install a 1X4X12 board to the side taking care to make

sure everything is flush.



Repeat the process for both sides



Next install the 1X4X25 ½” pieces on the ends of the

table.

You are done with the table!
