Do you use fram or hoop to hand quilt?

Do not use a hoop or frame and it works out just fine. Since the fabric has to be loose in the hoop I am not sure why you would need one. I am just careful to make sure the backing and batting stay smooth as I go.

No, I don't use anything. I pin very carefully. I've tried all kinds of hoops...even bought the swivel one...could not get used to it. I'm thinking, however, I might not have had it loose enough....seemed to be too tight. I have quilted 4 without anything.

I would be so afraid to not us a hoop with the back side of a quilt in a hoop. You have too have it tight but not to tight is much have some play in so the needle can get more than one on a needle. I can usally get up to 8 and pull it on thought.

I use a hoop. My first quilt sat in a (borrowed) frame in my family room for AGES, untouched, until someone suggested a hoop. The mobility of the hoop did it for me- I could take it where I was going, and work on it wherever! Much more suitable to my lifestyle and personal sensibilities.
