I also hand quilt. I use a Q-Snap floor frame to hold my quilts. First I put them on the long arm and baste them together using odds and ends of thread. Then I transfer it to the Q-Snap and hand quilt. I only work on it a couple hours a day watching TV at night but eventually, it gets done. I always have one on the frame. Sometimes, hand quilting is what is required to get the look you want.
