Awkward, stick with hoop

It's pretty hard to work with this frame on. It isn't too bad to assemble, but as everyone says there are no instructions, but it's very hard to start a new thread in this frame since you need to work with the backside and hold on to the thread tail while pulling the thread through the front. It just winds up being awkward to try and access both sides of the piece at once. Might be nice for finishing work like back stitching, but I will be going back to my normal hoop for the most part.
