I was thinking about doing the applique on
light-weight linen, so it would stand up to my abuses.
 There is a quilting hoop I saw at Joanne's that has
the inner hoop in a channel formed by the outer
hoop... maybe that would work.  Otherwise, Lacis
(http://www.lacis.com) has both tambour needles and a
tambour hoop.
