    I'm still a bit new to hand quilting and have mainly done quilt as you go in the lap. I like this because I can curl up on the sofa and listen to the TV. If you have a floor frame, do you have an upright chair, a typists chair or a more comfortable chair with the frame adjusted to it?

    With the amount of time you spend at the frame I should think this is very important. I have chest pains and neck ache from a short time on the sewing machine let alone hovering over a frame!!
    Sue doesn't always have time to moniter the forums (bizzy quilting???) but I did ask her about the chair she uses. She said that she just sits "in anything that is around – a kitchen chair, a sofa, a desk chair – I just like it to be a comfy height relative to the frame!"
    Like everything else in quilting....you just have to try several things and use what works for you!

      I quilt on a round frame, but will try a square one next time. I do both the stab stitch, and a version of the rocking stitch, not real happy with it. I also do some quilting without a frame of any kind (Lap quilting???) Doing a running stitch.
      I have worked on different frames, a floor frame - No basting type - on a small round frame 14" to 16", doing mostly stab stitching.
      I do not quilt any big quilts anymore.
