I also have a Hintenberg standing round hoop. It is at least 24" and stands on a single leg. I can tilt it and spin it anyway I want. I pin baste. I also have a Grace hoop that is a square with rounded corners. It came with a light attached. It stands on a triganular foot that allows me to pull the quilt and frame into my lap. I have quilted dozens of bed size quilts on both frames. For a wallhanging or small project I usually use a PCP frame no bigger than 12 x 24 inches. It allows me to rotate it around in my lap or on a table. That is what I take when I travel. The frame breaks down into four pipes with four corner pieces. When I use a tradional floor frame I like to have a rolling chair as I am very fast and keep on moving from one end to the other until it is time to roll the quilt.
