Hello, welcome and happy quilting from Germany!
I am a hand quilter and I work in a hoop on a floor stand, not in a frame. But of course it is a matter of personal choice. You can use the search function here on the board and check the section "Hand Quilting" on the main side and I am sure you will get a lot of tips.

Hello from Western Mountain Maryland !! :-D
I am a hand quilter, I have a frame from the Grace Company, it will do quilt sizes from crib to queen.
You can do a search here or google quilting frames. There are different ones & different companies. There are a lot of hand quilters here, so you will get a lot of ideas about frames.
Good luck in your search !! :-D

Welcome Lindsay! My frame is a very old one...about 35 years old and made of wood. It fits up to a king size quilt.
The problem with that is you have to have the room lengthwise to set it up.
I love it though!

welcome from se TX -- I don't know about floor hoops or stands, but I am currently quilting a biggish quilt using a 12x20 inch oval hoop -- it is more maneuverable than my bigger oval, round, or square hoops , allthough it needs to be repositioned often -- it's still a bear to tug around
