This event was a social gathering and a community project. Several women would pull up a chair to the quilting frame and work on the quilt together. These first frames were most often used during quilting bees. They used clamps, nails, or rope to secure the quilt, basically anything they could find. Quilters would then attach and pull the quilt taut within the frame to keep it from shifting. The frame was then attached to four legs, so it looked like a large dining table.
