I do much better with a swivelling lap hoop because I can keep my back straight.
Also tried the smaller qsnap frames (the non-floor type). They were okay, but had the same problem for me that any plain hoop has -- making me feel as if I really needed 3 hands: 2 to quilt, and 1 to hold the hoop. Again, my lap hoop takes care of that problem for me.

I don't use anything on my clamps, but the ones I cut a lil too wide/big do sometimes tend to pop off once in a while. The ones that have smaller openings don't go anywhere.
If you have problems with leaning over you could always make the "legs" taller. :)

I can easily adjust it to any angle, and there is nothing underneath to interfere with my hand position.

The PVC floor frame would make a great playhouse!
