If I am handquilting it is always in a hoop. If I don't I have been known to quilt in tucks.

I wondered if anyone hand-quilts larger projects on their laps, and if you do will you need to use a hoop or is not not necessary? I have a UFO that I took off of a large floor quilting frame when I moved (picture attached with my Boo kitty), and it's all basted and waiting. I'd rather not set up my huge frame, and wondered if I'd get decent results just quilting it at night on my lap.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
