Oh yes, another reason I prefer no hoop or frame is I like the poof my quilting results in. With the hoop for frame, you will have a flatter quilt which is fine if that's the desired result. Try one method and see how you feel about it. If it isn't right, try another. Eventually you'll figure out what you prefer to do and who knows, you may be among the many who opt to machine quilt instead.

I use a large round hoop and twist it around like steering wheel as I work around the section. Once I finished the center and out to edges as far as I can, I do the finish quilting by without a hoop. I used to have an large oval hoop but it broke. My bf was going to make me a pvc frame but could not find the pvc t-joint 3 way thingies and he's a plumber! I am sure they could be ordered online. Maybe when we move to a bigger place where I could set one up I will try to find them.

I use a hoop. My large one's wing nut is stripped so have to get another one today. Been using a small 6-7 inch hoop and I have to move it a lot. Can't wait to use the large one again.
