It does make sense. I don't worry much about us "running into one another" with our needles. I am mainly concerned with the direction I will be pointing my needle. I am used to always aiming the needle toward myself or to my left, since I am right handed. With the hoop, I simply move the hoop around, so I can always quilt in the same direction. With the old floor frame, moving the quilt isn't an option. Alas, I must aim that needle away from me sometimes or to the right, which goes against my usual method.
