    I just redesigned the 14" frame. Small adjustments - large hole in the middle and a relocated logo. The base also has 4 adjustment angles. Now I have to finish an 18" frame for our floor stand. Thank you all for the kind words.

    I have recently purchased Barnett Lap Hoop 12" with the sit on frame and love it. No more backache nor my arms getting tired! This one is a permanent fixture in the house--it won't be stored away.

    My dog doesn't like the noise the lazy susan makes but she puts up with it to be near me. LOL

    I have one of the Barnett hoops, well, actually two: a 14" and a border frame. I use them on both my tilt and spin and sit on bases. I just got the sit on base and LOVE IT! Not only does it hold the hoop off your lap, it too spins and can be tilted up and down for the best position. I can quilt for longer periods without suffering the back pain and sore elbow. I have put away my other hoops.

    Thanks Harry!

    I have been busy in the last couple months, very busy. The latest news is a lighter base for our Sit On Frames. I reduced the weight about one pound and added three adjustable height settings.

    The best idea was to try the Square Hoop design. This has been a huge hit, with great feedback.

    In addition to those improvements, I added an 18" Frame. It's a big hoop for your lap, but works great with our floor frame.

    What do you think???
