frame or not?
How many of you do handquilting without a frame? I am working on one that has been pinned and basted quite close and am doing the handquilting without a hoop/frame. So far it is working out O.K. Thanks!!

I've been quilting without a hoop for years, even a king size. Just make sure your top is basted well. For wall size & lap size, I pin baste, for larger I have it basted by a longarmer.

when i hand quilt i either use a hoop or nothing- a frame is (too restrictive) for me- i don't have the space- and i like to turn my work alot- so a hoop works best but for small projects sometimes i don't need a hoop.
