My neighbor next store does cross stitch's(age 38 ex -marine).You can
not tell his backs from his fronts on his works of art! He does not use
a hoop at all.
I also got my husband into cross stitching. He loves it . Something to
do when it is raining outside.
I started my last cross stitch with- out a hoop and love it.
What are your views.

Time to de-lurk!
I learned how to stitch in primary school (in the UK), then took it up
again about 15 years ago as a way to relax during busy periods at work.
Admit to swinging both ways with hoops - generally, I don't use when I'm
stitching at work, somehow it seems a bit clumsy when I'm sitting at the
desk.

Welcome, Graham. Tell us more about yourself, and chime in!
I almost always work in hand, but am having to use a Q-frame for a very
big project, and it feels so awkward to me! I'm anxious to get this one
done and move on to something more "natural."

Welcome out of lurkerdom, Graham. You'll know by having read r.c.t.n
that we can get a little cantankerous at times, but it's great to see a
new stitching face.

I am using hoops less and less. I have always worked smaller pieces in
hand, for me it is one of the pleasures of embroidery to feel the fabric. I
used hoops, and eventually scroll frames for bigger things, but it occured
to me that it was awkward reaching my arms around these inflexible wooden
bits, and I haven't found a stand I like. I think maybe at heart I am just
too casual, I stitch to relax and like lolling around with my stitching.
