free quilting instructions

Does anyone know where i can find free instructions online for building a quilting frame?!?

I am looking for something that is a simple to build and fairly cheap…nothing overly complicated…any help will be appreciated!…Thanks!
I have already tried yahoo…google…ect…not finding much…just wondering if there was some site i am passing up!

Here’s one that’s really simple: http://www.texasbob.com/q_frame.html

Here’s another: http://www.hgtv.com/crafting/joe-sladkys-quilt-frame/index.html with a video here: http://www.hgtv.com/videos/joe-sladkys-quilt-frame/10760.html

This one has directions but no picture: http://www.essortment.com/hobbies/buildquiltingf_sdnf.htm

Another one: http://www.quiltchat.com/lessons/floorframe.html

This one involves payment for the plans, and while it’s quite simple to construct, it’s a bit better designed than some of the others: http://www.moritzdesigns.com/quilting/frame.html

And finally, I have a quilting frame that I inherited from an aunt who quilted “the old-fashioned way.” It’s made of four strips of sturdy boards, maybe 2 x 2, with fabric “sleeves” for fastening the quilt backing. It goes together with bolts, washers, and nuts at the corners and has eye bolts at each corner. How it was used: Invite a dozen friends over to quilt and provide sandwiches and cookies as well as coffee and tea. Clear all the furniture from the middle of the living room floor and line up chairs, 3 to a side. Fasten four cords through the eyebolts in the ceiling and then fasten the other end of each cord through the eyebolt in a corner of the frame, then adjust the cords to level the frame at quilting height. Fasten the backing to the frame (pin or stitch). Lay out the batting over the backing. Lay the top, marked with the quilting pattern, over the batting. Starting in the center, smooth and pin the batting and top over the backing from center to the center of each side and from center to each corner. Thread a number of needles (and if you have an extra person or an older child handy, she can stay busy threading empty needles for the quilters) and secure them in the edge of the quilt. Spend the rest of the day or evening gossiping and stitching, with periodic breaks for sandwiches and coffee.
