I do much better with a swivelling lap hoop because I can keep my back straight.

Also tried the smaller qsnap frames (the non-floor type). They were okay, but had the same problem for me that any plain hoop has -- making me feel as if I really needed 3 hands: 2 to quilt, and 1 to hold the hoop. Again, my lap hoop takes care of that problem for me.
since I do struggle with fibromyalgia, wondering, Prism, what kind of swivel hoop do you use?

I put a bit of sand paper in my pvc frame snaps. Held the fabric very well and it was inexpensive to replace if needed.

Hugs,
Sharon

I don't use anything on my clamps, but the ones I cut a lil too wide/big do sometimes tend to pop off once in a while. The ones that have smaller openings don't go anywhere.

If you have problems with leaning over you could always make the "legs" taller. :)

Here's a link to the one I use and love:

http://www.keepsakequilting.com/productdetail/9113.htm

I can easily adjust it to any angle, and there is nothing underneath to interfere with my hand position.

that's a great looking hoop, with an armrest. I am looking at this and the pvc frame. I might actually make the frame and use it part time as a playhouse for grandbabies. Just make a cover for it.
I've bought things from Keepsake quilting and they are great! :D

You know, they say it's an arm rest on that description, but I've never used it that way. I don't think it would work as an arm rest either. Wonder how they came up with that?

The PVC floor frame would make a great playhouse!

hmmm? maybe it just makes it stronger, and they thought it would be a nice marketing ploy to call it an armrest? unless you have thick arms, lol, which i definitely do not. I really like the look of it, and it looks like a nice price. not too bad. :D
