I have just finished making a table runner. I am a hand quilter and not sure how to quilt something narrow. I have always used a hoop in the past and not sure it will fit. I would appreciate any suggestions.

I agree.
Take a piece of fabric (I like a towel because it's bulkier and more secure in the frame) and pin it to the edge(s) of your basted quilt sandwich temporarily. You then have a big enough item to fit in a hoop.
I actually use a PVC hoop in a smaller size for hand quilting small things.

You can sew (baste) some "cheater" material along edge so that you can fit it into a hoop. I think I was taught this in a quilting class on hand quilting....what to do when you get to the border of edge of quilt and there is not enough to fill up hoop. Hope this helps, suzie
