Frame or Hoop

I would like to know how many of you use a hand held hoop or a frame.:D

Depending on the size of my project I use Q-Snap frames.  If it is comfortable enough to hold in hand I will do that.  :D

I mostly stitch in hand but over the last year or so have been using Q-snaps.

I used to always use hoops but arthritis has taken a toll on my hands so I use a frame now. I have different sizes now thanks to yard sales.

I use Q Snaps.  I have tried stitching in hand but my stitching looks so much more uniform and better using the Q Snaps as I have gotten used to them and how much tension to do on each stitch with them.

Q-snaps and hoops for me!  :)

Small projects - in hand.
Large projects - Q-snaps.

I like hoops best, I have a couple of different sizes so I always have one that will work well.

I stitch all my projects in hand. I dislike hoops and I think they ruin your stitching. I learned to cross stitch from a master stitcher and Im glad she taught me to stich in hand.  :)
