one of the reasons many people choose to use a hoop instead of a frame- unless you are good at stitching in different directions you have to turn the piece or the frame to change directions- or, learn to change directions while stitching so you can quilt the complete area available in the frame- look at some U-Tube videos on hand quilting - you can refine the search to find ones using frames, hoops, and no 'equipment' (lots of us do not use a frame or a hoop) there are lots of tutorials out there to show you how to go about it.
