My preference is a 12" round wooden hoop.
Like these: http://www.ericas.com/quilting/tools/hoops.htm

Altho' the first hoops shown here are flimsy & rather worthless for
quilting a real quilt (more of an embroidery hoop),
there's a variety of choices he

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
