The ball makes the hoop very easily to swivel the hoop to any angle or direction that will make stitching easier, and it's very easy to release and tighten the wing nuts for the position you want. The underneath hand is unobstructed, and the entire hoop sits in your lap.
There is a half-hoop adapater available for it too (makes stitching borders easier).

I quilt with a hand held round wood hoop. It works well for me. I tried quilting without a frame/hoop, but my quilting was not as even and smooth.
I have quilted one quilt with a large frame I borrowed from a friend. I liked using it. That was 25 years ago. I bought an old frame on a yard sale last year, but haven't used it yet. I will have to take down a bed in a spare room to have space to put it up.

I used to have a 30" dia. Hinterberg hoop that swiveled 360º & stood on the floor. I loved it, but the grooves on the center post started falling apart & the legs would fall off. Now I settle for a 14" cheapie hoop I've had since the mid 80s. Can't quilt without a hoop. Am quilting a Dear Jane, but it's set aside until summer is over. We had to use the A/C today - first time this year.

I use Hinterberg 14" lap hoop It is a wonderful hoop Take a look at this hoop www.hinterbergdesigns.com
it is designed to help take the load of a large quilt of the quilter. They are 79.99 so worth the price.
e-bay has one now for 65.95. I teach quilting and when ladies try this hoop they fall in love with it.

I always thought I would like a frame I saw one time. Instead of being on legs, it hung from the ceiling. When you were finished quilting for the day, you just pulled the ropes and pulled the quilt to the ceiling, out of the way. Unfortunately with my ceiling I can't do that, but I thought it looked really neat.
