I can only help with one thing, Sarah: a tapestry frame (in my
experience only) requires that the canvas be fixed to it in some way. A
quilting frame clips over the quilt and can be moved around very much
more easily.

I am looking to buy a hand quilting frame / hoop. Does anybody have
any opinions as to whether a hoop or a Q snap quilting frame is better?
Also what is the difference between a simple quilting frame and a
tapestry frame?

Thank you

Sarah
