Great "Everyday" Hoop
I've been embroidering a long time and I have to say I love these hoops. I've used all types, and there are some brands and specialty hoops (seat frames I'm looking at you...) that I prefer but they are $$$ compared to these. For an "everyday" hoop, these are my favorites. They are smooth, the screw is easy to tighten AND it won't catch your thread.
