embroidery hoops

Embroidery hoops are circular devices used to hold fabric taut while stitching. They typically consist of two concentric rings: the inner ring (often with a groove) and the outer ring that clamps down to secure the fabric securely in place. This tension helps keep the fabric smooth and steady, making precise and even stitches easier. Hoops come in various sizes to accommodate different projects, from small designs to larger pieces. Using an embroidery hoop ensures consistent tension, which improves the quality and appearance of the embroidery work.
