Im looking to update

it depends on the measurements of the design but I use a rather large frame

I personally cannot get away with large frames, so I use as large a hoop as I can hold, then I roll the excess fabric and hold it with a hair clip, as long as you take the fabric out of hoop everynight it doesnt damage your work xx

I have a Mark 2 floor stand (at the moment with a GK pattern in it but its also a very large design) and Im very pleased with it. Unused fabric can be easily rolled up and I can work with both hands.
But I also know that many people work HAED patterns using hoops or Qsnaps.

I also use large quilting hoops to hold my fabric and use washing line pins to hold my fabric up.   I find I cant reach the top if I use a really large frame in my floor stand, so I prefer the smaller hoops.

i love how we all have such different ways of doing something we love to do

I know this thread is quite old, but I thought I would add to it the fact that I make my own frames and floor stand, if you can use a drill to make holes it is very easy to do as the lumber store cuts the wood to measure for you.  Can provide details if desired.
