If you are curious about the double handed stitching here are the type of needles I use for it most of the time because I don't have to reverse the needle.

It works wonderfully for me because I have reached the stage where my hand will go totally numb at night if I don't watch how I use it.Totally numb in this case means I wake up and it has no feeling, not even pins and needles numb.

For me it depends on the size of the project, if i do use them I use Quick Snaps frame and I don't get any marking of the fabric.

I sometimes have small pieces of linen to use up and these are too small for stretching in a hoop or frame and so I have to stitch those without. I think it depends on wether you can keep a good tension with your stitches.
