The Biggest Hoop I've Ever Seen!

Stitching on Night Queen is slow, but she is coming along, my newest purchase is really helping, I have to ask.........is this the biggest hoop you have ever seen! lol

It is a quilting hoop, 21 inches across and very sturdy, its made a big difference, I can keep her on the hoop all the time and I cover with a clean sheet to stop it getting mucky, but I can just pop in a stitch whenever I like.

Before it would take me a good half an hour to get it out, on the hoop, organise the threads etc, this is much easier :)  Plus the area inside the hoop will fit an entire page worth of stitching, so I dont have to keep moving it around all the time.

I purchased it from the always brilliant www.sewandso.co.uk

  2. Wow and a definate yes to your question. I am glad that it has made things easier for you as this is a big project and I would love to see what it looks like finished. I was so tempted to try something like that but luckily for my marriage and pocket, you can't get fabric that big here.

  5. What fabric count are you using? Is this a retired design? I couldn't find in on the HAED website.
    I have to admit the size of your hoop doesn't surprise me, but I do quilting. The quilting hoop I'm currently using is a 27in x 18in oval!
