  • Re: Hooping

    Hello! Please do check out my Hooping/Hoopless Blog . I hope you will enjoy and get lots of info from it. Don't forget to do a "test sewout" because that will show issues before you do your project, that is a real money saver. There is so much to learn about ME. After 7 years, I learn new...

  • Re: Hoop Screws

    Thank you for sharing this idea with us! I too have a hard time with those screws. While I seldom hoop my actual fabric, that hooping is vital to a project.
