I use the Hinterberg version of the one linked to this thread. Got it several years ago in Lancaster at the Quilters Heritage show and I use it a lot! I recommend it. I found that having the base on my lap puts a lot less stress on my left hand, arm and shoulder...So I give it two thumbs up!

I also quilt without a frame.

I used to use a hoop but found I can make smaller stitches without it. I was probably using the hoop wrong because lots of people seem to love using their hoops.

I have a floor stand I like it too. I use it alot but now I just got a Vented Tilt and Spin Laptop Hoop from Barnett's and I really like it I can carry it anywhere I go.

I use my Q snap frame for cross stitch - works well.
Hand quilting - frame held in my lap. I do not have a floor stand.

I am have tried making a square hoop, and it hard to get the tight corners without splitting the wood. If anyone knows of a company, that sells just a square hoop, (no frame), I can make it for you.
