À propos de Cross Stitch Ideas

There are no hard and fast rules as to whether an embroidery hoop is used whilst cross stitching. It is down to personal preference and what the stitcher is comfortable with. The purpose of any hobby is to enjoy the experience.

The purpose of an embroidery hoop is to keep even tension of stitches whilst working a design. The majority are made of wood from bamboo to beech and dependent on wood type the price will be dictated by that. an embroidery hoop will last many years if not lifetime.

A wooden hoop will always have a tension screw attached. It is important that the fabric is kept taut whilst stitching a design, this keeps the stitches neat and uniform. The tension screw allows for different thicknesses of fabric to be used. For example a 14 count aida fabric is thicker than a 28 count evenweave fabric. The two different fabrics require a different tension.

Hoops are available in a range of sizes from as small as 3 inches to 12 inches in diameter. The design should fit within the diameter of the hoop this prevents having to move the hoop around the fabric. If the hoop is moved it may flatten the stitches that have already been completed.

It is good practice if a project is going to be left for more than a few days to take the hoop off the fabric this is to avoid marking the project.

Wooden hoops can mark the fabric so it helps to bind the hoop with fabric or masking tape.

It is possible to purchase hoops that are attached to stands or seat hoops. With such a variety of hoops on the market a stitcher can always find one to suit them.

If your design is oval and is too large to fit in a circular hoop there are oval hoops available also.

Plastic hoops are also available in similar sizes as the wooden hoops. There are also flexi hoops and these can be used to stitch and display the project once it has been completed. These are ideal for giving a cross stitched gift for a new baby or a wedding or any other special celebration. Plastic hoops are available in various colours as well as woodgrain.

For designs over 12 inches there are a multitude of frames on the market and it is best to research before purchasing. If you prefer a frame rather than a hoop these are available in small as well as large sizes.
