I have both hoops and hope this information will help you. The Thimblelady hoop worked well with small quilt projects but it isn't made as sturdy as the Barnett hoop and I had a difficult time quilting a large quilt unless the bulk of the quilt was up on a table which defeated the reason I wanted a lap hoop. The Barnett hoop is well made and I have had no problems with the weight of the quilt pulling on the frame.
