I have gone through several changes in my hand quilting process. I have done everything from small wall hangings to huge king size quilts. I have a small floor frame, I like it but when quilting a pattern that curves, it is difficult to use. My arms only twist so far!!! i don't really use that anymore. I have a large hoop, and that works well so I can sit on the couch and work... I have done a few, small pieces without any hoop....And as it has been said before, BASTE WELL!
