The Edmunds 5560-D is a popular vintage solid maple, full-size quilting frame with an adjustable stand, allowing it to adjust from baby to full quilt sizes (around 24" x 45" to 24" x 90") with tilting and height adjustments for comfortable quilting. Key features include sturdy maple hardwood construction, detachable rods for storage, lever locks to keep fabric taut, and compatibility with optional extension kits (like the 5561-D) for larger quilts, making it a classic, sturdy, and functional frame.

This was only used a few times back in 1985 and then put back into the original box and has been in a closet for the last 40 years. Includes all parts. I just assembled it today and included pictures of the real rack.
