It has come to my attention that I need a good, good frame. I have been
using hoops, and that is hell on Linen.

What are hoops doing to your linen? I have used hoops on linen all my life,
and have never had a problem. In fact, I have a Grip-it (I think that's the
name) floor stand which holds my hoops so I can work on them two handed.

Just curious.
