Just make sure you baste or pin it generously and it will come out just as smooth as if you used a hoop or frame....honest! Trust me you will fall in love with hand quilting!
I agree! I don't use a frame or hoop but I do PIN generously to keep everything smooth. It's more relaxing to me than fighting with the frame or hoop. Neither seem to feel comfortable to me.
