Depends on the project size. A big piece with fancy stitches, I use a frame. A smaller piece that's straight cross stitch I just hold it in my hand. If I'm stitching an ornament that has a lot of metallic braid and beads I use a 5 inch Hardwick manor hoop.

I used to always use hoops but arthritis has taken a toll on my hands so I use a frame now. I have different sizes now thanks to yard sales.

I like hoops best, I have a couple of different sizes so I always have one that will work well.
