Abstract
A horizontal base-mounted device for adjustably locating a quilting hoop (18). The device comprises a vertical support column (12) with a base attached thereto, the base to anchor the vertical support column (12) to a horizontal base platform such as a desk, table, stand, or chair. A jointed arm (14) having a first arm member (32) and a second arm member (34) is attached to the vertical support column (12) such that it can rotate in a plane perpendicular to the vertical support column (12). The jointed arm (14) is adjustable so that it can be lengthened or shortened. At the removed end of the jointed arm (14) is attached a rotatable bar (44) adjustably mounted to the second arm member (34) of the jointed arm (14) with the axis of the rotatable bar (44) parallel to the second arm member (34) of the jointed arm (14). A quilting hoop support beam (52) is attached by an axle (54) through the center ( 53) thereof to the rotatable bar (44). A quilting hoop (18) is releasably attached to leg members (72) projecting perpendicularly from the removed ends of the quilting hoop support beam (52).
