Panel Hoops for Cross Stitch

A panel hoop is a ready frame in which the finished cross stitch is stretched and the back closed with a cover; no glue or felt, and the piece hangs within minutes. This page gathers Hello round panel hoops in 17 and 21 cm with several frame colours. On 14 ct, the 17 cm hoop takes a motif about 80 stitches across, the 21 cm about 100. All panel hoops are in Panel Hoops, wooden frames and stands in Hobianna Display, all cross stitch hoops in Cross Stitch Hoops.

Choosing a Motif

Round compositions of flowers, monograms and seasonal motifs sit best in a panel hoop; cut the fabric 3 cm larger than the hoop and centre the motif before stitching.
