I may have to invest in a stand. I think the two-handed stitching is an excellent idea. Ive always just held the work loose, or in a hoop.

update: I cannot stitch faster with a frame, I use the sewing method, it´s much easier and I need to feel the fabric in my fingers...

I use different sizes of hoops and sharp scissors with a very small point.
