Hand Quilting - No frame no hoop
#11
I also have trouble with hoops and frames and also hand quilt on my lap. I find it gives me a really nice result. Even stitches etc. I have my quilts thread basted on a huge frame at the quilt group I go to. Everyone gets together to baste.

I usually use a hoop but have also used none. I've never tried a floor frame of any type. Find I do too much wiggling and shifting while I quilt so I don't think a floor frame and I would ever become friends. Depending on the size of the quilt I will usually pin baste. If it's a king I will sometimes thread baste just to cut down on the weight. Do what works for you and don't look back!
