I am comming close to having my first quilt top pieced. So I figure it's time out what I need to hand quilt it. I have a 14 inch embroidery hoop that I used once before. But that was when I was quilting the blocks individually. There is no way I would try that with an entire quilt top. [my hands would fall off lol.]

So I've been looking around. And I've seen those pvc frames that look pretty easy to make.

And I also read an article about using ladderback chairs and 2x4 pieces of lumber with padded canvas stapled to two of the pieces.

There was even a way to quilt without a frame. I don't think I would try that. I'm thinking it would break my back to be bent over for long periods of time.

So the question is what do you think the best way to hand quilt is?
