You're talking about a hand quilting hoop, right? Beginners usually hoop too tightly. I was taught to hoop the quilt so that there is about a fist width of "give" in either direction. This "give" helps you manipulate the quilt for easier hand stitching.

Thank you for starting this thread! I am going to try some hand quilting and I appreciate any and all tips! So far, I have stitched in the ditch or sent the larger ones to a longarmer. But time to figure the mystery out:)
