I am not short but have short arms and a 12" hoop is so much more comfortable to work on. You may have to move it a bit more, but to me it is all part of the wonderful process of hand quilting. I baste with needle and thread rather than pins. I make a grid about a hands with apart. Works beautifully for me.
