They just make and keep such a smooth work surface. I seem to always be adjusting and tightening my wooden ones!<br />Libby - Thanks! I usually use a 7 or 8" hoop. Bigger than that makes my hands and arms tired holding onto it! But sometimes the fabric that I am working on is too small to fit in the 7 or 8 so I use the smaller ones. I find that if they are really small - like my 3-1/4", it is hard to manipulate the needle around underneath the fabric inside the hoop. I also have an oval hoop that is good for some projects. I know you have done such beautiful pillowcases - you would probably really like an oval hoop. You can get much closer to the edge of the pillowcase while still having a nice big surface to stitch on.<br />-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18038128784679009759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7609978987977932197.post-48356351952480463872010-08-03T16:53:44.370-07:002010-08-03T16:53:44.370-07:00Your hoops always look so pretty!!
