I just got back from a conference and took a 23 inch hoop w/ me for my quilt - I balanced the large hoop on the back/corner of a chair that i placed in front of me (I was sitting in a chair that was in the hotel room & used the desk chair. That worked really well. It got me thinking about a floor frame, and I came across this:

It is from the Frank Edmonds Company. http://www.faersc.com/
I am intrigued because it adjusts to lots of different sizes.
As far as the bulk - I use small clamps that I bought at Odd Lots to help control "the bulk".
Baste, baste, baste, baste, is your key to keeping things from shifting. I also use Sharon Schamber's method - haven't been disappointed since i started using it.

I agree on storage, that frame goes all over the place with me. LOL.
Joanieu bought one at Joann's after I let her play on mine and her's did not have the adjustable legs so my dh, fixed hers right up with holes and cogpins...She loves it.
Wondering if you have decided which to use now? SO many good ideas......

Haven't seen anyone mention the hoops from Barnett's. I've ready quite a few reviews regarding Barnett's and all have been extremely positive...not a bad one yet. He has bases that interchange with all of his hoops. Here's the link: http://stores.laptophoops.com/StoreFront.bok
