I have a question. I have a hoop that is, hmmm, 18-24"...can tell I haven't messed with it in a while...it's for hand quilting. Read that you are supposed to leave some give in fabric, about fist sized,...my question is, does having it hooped stretch the fabric? I do cross stitch on aida, with no problems, but have been a little worried about my quilting projects, so haven't braved it yet. I love hand sewing.
