I
love your Boo Kitty and he/she looks as if she is wanting to do the quilting herself :mrgreen:
I use Jean Brown's hoop - I also bought the Aunt Becky tool, but for some reason cannot get the jest of it. I tried quilting without a hoop on one of my smaller ones but just didn't feel comfortable so I went back to using the hoop. I can turn it anyway I need to so I am stitching in the direction that is comfortable for me. I have been working on a 58 x72 with this hoop and I just love it. My next one which is almost ready is 82" square and I don't think I will have a problem with it. One thing I did learn is not to have the quilt so tight in the hoop, mine is loose almost as Jean Brown's but not quite. Hard to explain.
