Im a hand quilter :)
I used to use the planks and roll it, but I found it difficult to find a comfy chair.
I am ALMOST done with a king size quilt that I have been doing in a 17x17 Qsnap frame, I put the bulk of the quilt on a dining chair then I sit on the couch with the back of the chair face me and use the chair to prop up my frame so I can see what Im doing and have pleanty of room to move it around, and space underneath for my hands.
Use some heavily coated thread! the stronger the thread the easier it goes, less tangles.
I mostly watch history channel, last month PBS had a national parks special that was 16 hours total that I recorded and plan to watch while quilting :) and then there is Survivor :D .....
Happy Quilting
