I am working on a large project now, and I also roll the fabric.It's still awkward, but it's working.

Thought I'd write an update for you - checked the stitch count and the pattern is actually 20inches square. I gave up and bought a big, 26inch wide, roller frame for tapestry and am working on it 2 handed by leaning it against a table as I go!

I finished a large project that required a yard of linen and I did it entirely in hand.I would just gather the fabric to the stitch area or roll it to that area and stitch away.
