Can anyone tell me how or where I can view a video of how to use this style of quilting hoop?

The flat base is used to sit the quilt on your lap as you use the hoop. You can also put your legs overtop of it on either side as you use it, or sit it ontop of a table as you quilt with it. I have a hoop like that, and they are great. I had a hard time learning to quilt with a hoop where I had to try to hold the hoop at the same time as I quilted, but once I got the hoop with the base (and it tips and swivels!), I learned quickly. Does that explanation help?

This particular hoop doesnt swivel. It sort of reminds me of those little tub chairs we used when our children were babies and just learning how to sit up without help..lol It has the flat base with three legs and then the 14 inch hoop which is very thick with the tightening screw. Does this sound similar to yours?

The Aunt Becky Lady used to use one when she demonstrated her Aunt Becky tool at quilt shows. Youtube has a few of her videos
