I've done this before, and yes, it is a hassle. I figured out this method though: I use a few pieces of masking tape to tape the lower hoop to my work surface, then I use the template to center the block with the upper hoop. When everything is in the right place, I put the two hoops together. With a quilt, you really have to loosen the screw on the hoop so that it opens up completely.

thanks a lot, but what is masking tape?

Masking tape is a tape that is not really sticky that painters use to keep paint off of woodwork :D:D:D

When I look at your quilt it does make me happy. The colors are great together. And the quilted flowers are beautiful. I like the varigated thread it makes the flowers stand out.I love it. Thanks for sharing
