Welcome from VIRGINIA. I started out handquilting but want to learn to machine quilt on my home machine, as well. You may want to try the round hoop, I even like the SMALL hoop because you can handle it well. My problem got to be that it is easier for me to quilt WITHOUT a hoop, just lapquilt, I guess, they call it. That way, I use the fabric in one hand to help me with the quilting stitch in the other. You may have to try a couple of kinds to see which works best. Good luck -- hope to see some of your handquilting on here. I'm usually in the minority because all but one other lady in my class does the machine quilting - so I'm all alone!

Welcome from San Antonio Tx. I am not a hand quilter but should have absorbed it from all my Mom did!! Wish that would have happened. Not only do I know where Merkel is I have even been there lots of times. We were born and raised near Abilene. Hope you find exactly what you are looking for. There are so many knowledgeable and helpful quilters on this board. I have learned a ton of stuff here.
