I have been hand quilting at home with a friend today. I used a hoop and sat at the dining room table. The quilt and hoop rested on the table while I quilted away, feet on the floor and sitting upright. It amazed me what better stitches I had today, than when I try to quilt in the recliner with my feet up. And the table took the pressure off my lap supporting the weight of the quilt. Yes, there was some turning and readjusting, but I'm happy with the results! Just a few thoughts.
