What kind of hoop would you all recommend?

NJ Quilter

You might get as many hoop recommendations as we do machine recommendations! I use a cheapie hoop from JoAnns. Mine is probably the 14" round size. There are larger; smaller; oval...you name it. Then there are floor models. I can't sit in one position long enough to think a floor hoop/frame of any type would work for me. I'm just too much of a wiggler when I sit. I also figure for the price of a 'nice' quilting hoop, I can use up plenty of the cheapies. I might be on #3 in the last 10-12 years.

I bought an 18" hoop (I think...hummm can't remember exactly.) Would that be too big? My thought was that if I'm doing a big stitch, then I'd have to reposition the quilt frequently with a smaller hoop.
