Just make sure you baste or pin it generously and it will come out just as smooth as if you used a hoop or frame....honest! Trust me you will fall in love with hand quilting!

I tried both hoop & frame. I don't much care for using a frame and can't use a hoop at all; it's just annoying. You CAN quilt just fine without either one, but the layers need to be basted well first.
I pin baste.

Do you have a LQS where you can take a lesson and get started on the right track. One class should be enough and you would have a lot of info. that can make this a task a success. If you don't have a LQS do you know some one you could ask to give you a lesson.
I suggest you use a hoop or quilt frame. I use a Hinterberg round lap hoop and quilt up to a king size quilt. It sits on your lap and the frame holds the weight of the quilt up I think it's the best on the market (It is better for my back than quilt frame you can hold your work close .
Good Luck.

I have the PVC lap hoop, the grace frame lap hoop and a large grace frame for big projects. I tried without a hoop after reading a lot of the posts here but I can't seem to get consistent stitches so I use the hoops and love hand quilting. I like the lap hoop because it is portable but love the frame so I can do larger projects.
