It took a while to get used to using my left hand, but it made it so that I am able to quilt quickly. I also use a hoop and balance it on my chest in the front and the rest of the quilt in the back. It I get it positioned correctly, I never have to touch the hoop.

Thanks. That is what I thought it was but I wasn't sure. However you did it it's lovely. BrendaK
