It sits in your lap, is easily adjustable in any direction because of the swivel ball, and there is nothing underneath to impede the underneath hand. There is a half-hoop adapter you can also buy (makes quilting close to the borders easier).
When I was looking for a hand quilting frame Prism99 recomended this one to me....I love it! I bid on it on ebay...while I was waiting for the end of the auction a Jasmine easy-spinner floor hoop came up on ebay also, I bid on and won them both. I love each one. I have thought about getting a large floor frame (no baste) but right now I don't have room, I also can't quilt in all directions, as you need to on a large frame. I am sure it can be learned, but the swivel hoops are great in allowing you to quilt in the most comfortable position.
