    Default A Certain Kind of Hoop. Is There Such a Thing?

    I am thinking about getting a hoop that sits attached to a stand on a table or the floor. BUT I want one that is plastic and not wood. I have searched online but all the one I've seen look like wood. Am I just dreaming?

    ​I have only seen wood ones but that doesn't mean they don't exist.

    There are plastic square frames not sure about a stand. Looks like plastic water pipes.
    I use one for hand work and fond th e tube a smoother size to fit my hand.

    It is a bit pricey, (couple of 100) , but I have one by Grace. It as square plastic hoop, on wood stand, and adjustable. Also the hoop tilts, rotates--& my DH just put 3 casters on it so I can roll it away, and easily get up from chair. Wonderful to use. Google GRACE QUILT FRAME.

    Guess that is out of my range. Maybe I will keep using the hoop that I have now.

    What about Q-Snap frames? I've seen them in Joann's and Michael's...Not sure of price, but Joann's always has good coupons. http://www.qsnap.com/

    They have the ones made out of PVC pipe. The gals that I know who have them really like them. I'm not sure what they are called. Sorry I couldn't be more help/ But, there are more inexpensive things out there. Someone here is sure to come up with the answer.

    The plastic ones are made out of PVC. My husband is working on one for me. I told him I wanted it to be like a walker so that, it can move when I want. Trying to decide casters or wheels.

    Thanks ladies. I have the neat little snap together floor frame, and it's very nice. Got it at Hobby Lobby with a coupon and it was very reasonable. I was thinking of something about 14 inches in a circle that I can turn as I do curves in my stitching.
