I am currently quilting in a large hoop, with the quilt and hoop resting on a table and my Ott light right above it. It keeps the quilt off me (it is currently in the high 90"s) and seems to be ok-but I also only quilt for an hour or so and then get up for a bit. I also have the Grace 2 floor hoop-and it was perfect with my old chair in Vanuatu, but I don't have it here-so use my office chair. I only use that frame with a large quilt - like queen size - prefering my 14" lap hoop for smaller projects. Unfortunately, I really struggle quilting in different directions, mostly just top to bottom, so I have to turn the hoop (and quilt) frequently!
