Hello and welcome from southern WV....I've hand-quilted for over 30 years and am just now learning to machine quilt. I hand quilt smaller items, from wall quilts to baby quilts, in a large oval hoop. For the full to king quilts I use a floor hoop from Hinterburg....it's a 30" round on a tri-foot stand. It rotates 360 degrees so it's very convenient and doesn't take up a lot of floor space.
