    I use a hoop. It's 18 inches, I think. Sometimes, if the quilt is well basted and not real big, I'll just quilt in my lap without a hoop.

    I have several size hoops, some wooden and some snap plastic. I also have a floor frame for anything larger than twin size. I don't know if I have ever tried to quilt without some kind of frame. I have used all of them at some time or another. Today I was working on a table runner using a white plastic snap frame.

    I pin or baste well and quilt in my lap, no frame, no hoop. Takes some practice but not hard to do. It is how my grandma taught me to hand quilt.

    I have 2--- 14''-16'' hoop.. I've never used anything bigger. But with what doggramma saying, she has a 18" hoop. I may check it out.

    I don't use a hoop when I hand quilt. I find them awkward but maybe I just wasn't trying the right hoop.

    I was reading in the QB help section about searches and did an advanced search. I'm sorry if this isn't the right place or if it doesn't come out, but I did get a lot of hits.

    I'll check it too to see if it works.

    Well...it did!!
