I just put together a quilt that was hand embroidered. Now after applying the backing and batting I am now ready to hand embroider some of the design that has to be done after the backing, etc. has been applied. I think I would like to do it in my easy chair and am not sure what size or kind of a quilting frame works to purchase to do the job. Can anyone help me .
Thanks in advance for your help

Here's a link to my favorite hoop for hand quilting:
http://www.keepsakequilting.com/prod...PTOP-HOOP-.htm
It sits in your lap, is easily adjustable in any direction because of the swivel ball, and there is nothing underneath to impede the underneath hand. There is a half-hoop adapter you can also buy (makes quilting close to the borders easier).

Hi djg,
Just wanted to share the following link for You Tube videos about getting your quilt top ready to quilt for which ever type of frame you decide to use. The videos are by Sharon Schamber. Hope you find them useful.

Please keep us updated. I'm trying to find out what others are using, what they like and don't like and why for when I get ready to purchase a frame.
Have a Great Quilty Day!
