Wooden Hoops for Embroidery
In modern embroidery the wooden hoop is the frame of the work: beech rings hold the fabric gently and the finished panel is backed with felt and hung in the same hoop. This page gathers Nurge wooden hoops in several diameters, the Şirin 30×30 cm square hoop and the Nurge wooden quilting hoop. All wooden hoops are in Wooden Hoops, Hobianna's laser-cut Miniature and Magnetic hoops, all embroidery hoops in Embroidery Hoops.
Finishing a Hoop Panel
Centre the finished embroidery, tighten the outer ring, leave 3 cm of fabric at the back, gather it and cover with felt; paint the wood or wrap it in ribbon if you like. Designs for hoop panels are in Embroidery Books.
