I used a q-snap frame/hoop when i quilted a queen quilt. It's light weight and disassembles, so shipping should be economical. Try googling it, you should be able to find it and they are cheap to buy as well. Here's the link
http://www.qsnap.com. Looks like they are part of Yarn tree now, and the link is provided. I had a 17" frame for my lap only.
