When Hand Quilting
#12
I use no hoop, a finger cot on my thumb, and a leather thimble on my middle finger to pull the needle through when needed and it is very relaxing! I despise hoops...tried them, didn't like those at all! It takes practice but you can make even beautiful stitches without a hoop.

I have the EZ3 Grace frame. I used for 1 quilt so far. But since I am only 5 foot tall, it was very uncomfortable for me. I will try again on another quilt. I started out on a 14" quilting hoop but on the quilt I am working on now I am using a 12" quilting hoop. I like it better since I have short arms so don't over stretch. I bought 12" at Hancock's Fabric and believe it is a Dritz.

I purchased a Laptop Hoop with sit on frame from Harry Barnett and love it. I have a few other hoops but this is the best one so far as I have short arms and the 12" frame works for me, the hoop spins so I don't have to get in those awful positions to quilt and no back pain.
I guess I will be getting rid of those other frames eventually.
