I tried a floor hoop way back in the day and it never worked for me. I think it is thrown in my attic now and I should try it again. Thimbles never were for me back in the day either and now I can't be without.

There's nothing worse that not being comfortable when you're quilt, lucky it was long before you had your hoop back in your lap.

I do have a floor standing square frame by Grace that I have stored away as I have no good spot to really use it in the house - I really need a good corner of the room to use it in where no one would trip over it.

While it can be a bit of a pain to wrestle with all the excess quilt when quilting a large quilt (my current quilt is king-sized), it's certainly possible to rotate the hoop into just the right position (important to me because I can only quilt from right to left) ... and my back and shoulders thank me that I can sit in my recliner with my hoop and not put any strain on those body parts. <br /><br />Happy belated anniversary!
