Patchwork & Quilting ... Welcome to the Darkside / Re: Adaptive aids for Single handed Quilting & Sewing

Thanks Maliw - the Husky glide hoop is the like the one that Stitchintime has offered for D to try out.
For embroidery she has some wooden hoops that she uses for cross stitch but for this venture she' definitely wants something that will work for FMQ single handed.
HollyBerry, thanks for that video of the Octi Hoop. How she holds the top and bottom hoop whilst moving them was useful to see. The video I'd seen of the Octi hoop mentioned one handed use but didn't show how.
Chatted to D last night and she's excited to give some of these things a try. She's concerned that she'd lose the position of the bottom hoop with the octi hoops as they don't seem to be held together by anything. She's worried that it might slip under the foot/needle. She's going to watch the videos again and look into things a bit more over the weekend. Like all of us, buying and trying out all the different systems isn't really an option so she's trying to work out which she might have the best chance with especially as she will be very much a beginner at FMQ.
If anyone has got any of these types of aids, it would be so helpful if they could do a little tryout one handed and see what they think.
