How many quilters among us?

[JaneE]

"There's no way I'd put a king frame up in my house, there is just not enough room."

I don't have room for a king-size frame in my house, either. I quilt with a hoop and have quilted king-size quilts with it. I just start in the center and work my way around and out, typically at my kitchen table (though I do have a stand for my hoop(s) to keep the quilt off my legs. I can't stand getting all tangled up in a quilt in progress though others love to be cuddled in their quilts while they work.

Using a hoop keeps the project reasonably portable, too. I'd LOVE to have the room to keep a frame but I don't think that will be the case in my lifetime.

(And 12 stitches to the inch is a reasonable and attainable goal. Just takes a little practice. )
