Love this posting!
This tip of flipping over the Barnett Laptop Hoop and using it as a marking table is a members suggestion. What a great idea! As for the second posting here... we now have square hoops as seen in my pic. This was the result of another quilting board members request too and it is perfect too. Now that I think of it the Vented Hoop designs are another members request. It sounds like a trend? Well thanks for the great ideas and keep sharing tips and requests.

I like the base of their sit on frame! Not as wide as the others I've looked at. It would be perfect if it had a square hoop.

Unfortunately with my ceiling I can't do that, but I thought it looked really neat.

Supposedly it does not shift while you are workign on it. I am willing to try anything if it will save me hassles in the long run.
Otherwise, what do you do to stabilize that quilt while you are working on it?
Thanks for sharing.

By the time I'm done basting my quilt sandwich, it would take a major disaster for the layers to shift. No shifting, no puckers, and it behaves itself properly.
I like to use Japanese basting thread, which has a sort of fuzzy texture and really grabs onto the fabric of the top and backing.
