A quilting frame which is comprised of two complementary support structures each of which includes a base member, an elevation member, and a fulcrum member. The two complementary support structures are coupled by a cross member which spans the distance between the two complementary support structures. The cross member is coupled to each of the elevation members at a location near where the elevation member is coupled to the fulcrum member. Coupled to each of the fulcrum members at a fulcrum end is a rail assembly. The rail assembly is comprised of two complementary rail brace members which generally hold at least three rails upon which components of a project are disposed. The at least three rails consist of a take-up rail disposed at the fulcrum end, and at least two supply rails disposed at a supplying end of the rail assembly.
