My Barnett laptop hoop arrived last week, and it is awesome! Not only is it beautifully finished, but it is just the right size at 14" so I don't need to stretch to quilt. I *love* that it tilts to an infinite number of positions, and it also turns 380 degrees. NOW, it's on to learning Jean Brown's way of quilting [the Needleart thimble and the Aunt Becky tool arrived a few days later]. Life is good!

that looks cool, let us know how you like the hoop

I have been keeping my eye on this contraption. It is on my must have list and I will probably purchase in the next month or two. I love the quality of the wood used. I view these hoops as a work of art and am looking forward to owning one.

kinda expensive for my budget tho . . .

I too have been thinking about getting one. Trouble is what one to get!! LOL I would like to do rug hooking as well as quilting. I emailed and was told to get the thicker hoop. Guess all that is left to do is order one!!!

As I mentioned before..I haven't ordered one of the hoops..yet...but do have one of the thimbles. I LOVE IT!!!! I've been using it for several years and I can't say enough good about it.

hmmmm, i have a standing hoop i never used. not hand sewing anymore.

i ordered one myself and i just love it ,it,s the best hoop i own very glad i brought my ,believe me you won,t be sorry and yes it is more beauitful in person

That reminds me... wasn't he thinking of making a standing version of this hoop?

I did make a floor frame version...and thank you all for the kind words. This one is an 18 inch frame.
