For me it just seems like it's the nature of the beast. Doesn't bother me. And I've hand quilted up to king size quilts in a hoop. Funny thing yesterday, though. Friend and I were in Lancaster. Stopped at Shady Maple for lunch. I've never been there before so was the first time we've seen the quilted goods section of the gift shop. Lady working the shop was shocked to learn that me and my friend both hand quilt in a hoop and not on a frame (they had a small one in the shop). The look of amazement and lack of words on her part cracked us up. Conversely, I couldn't imagine quilting on a frame. Can't imagine sitting in one position for any length of time. I need to wiggle constantly...quilting or not.
