All in the hoop

摘要

We all know an embroidery machine allows you to sew in any direction without using your hands, but you can put that technology to work for regular sewing, too. If a project fits in your hoop, you can sew it together there. This way, you can create projects almost entirely in the hoop.rnOn a recent tour through traditional embroidery motif catalogues, I found a vast array of projects that are embellished and constructed in the hoop. The designs are quite interesting and sophisticated. A quick online search brought forth beautiful embroidered purses, travel accessories, doll dresses, and more.
