I too end up with the quilt in a twist as I quilt from right to left-- I have found that I quilt in more comfort using an large oval rather than a round hoop as I can get my arms around it better and turn it-- I have seen a hoop that has a turnable base, either in a lap or a floor model, that looks interesting but quite pricey -- I usually handquilt sitting in a wingback chair with my quilt lying across a footstool and quilt away while I watch tv -- solution??
