embroidery hoop

An embroidery hoop is a circular frame used to hold fabric taut while stitching designs or patterns. It typically consists of two rings: an inner ring that holds the fabric and an outer ring that tightens around it to keep the fabric securely in place. This tension helps prevent wrinkles and ensures that stitches are even and precise. Embroidery hoops come in various sizes and materials, making them suitable for different embroidery projects, from simple designs to intricate artwork. They are essential tools for both beginners and experienced embroiderers, facilitating creativity in textile arts.
