I used to do HQ but once the longarmers got going I sent them off so I could make more tops. I never used a frame or hoop as I prefer the running stitch and drape the quilt over a small table with adjustable height and a heavy object to the side to help with the tension. Hollis has designed and sold some beautiful wholecloth tops. Tried to take a picture of my black on black quilting and white on white quilting but neither one shows up!
