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

Congrats on getting the new hoop, it's good to hear that stitching is now much easier for you =)
ReplyDelete21 inches is really huge O____O I didn't even know that you can get hoops that big!
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.
ReplyDeleteYes...definitely the biggest hoop I've seen! I didn't even know you could get hoops that size! What's the finished size of your stitching?
ReplyDeleteThat is a great hoop! It must make a big difference to your work! You are getting along very nicely! I am so excited to see her face!!! Keep up the great work! ^_^
ReplyDeleteWhat fabric count are you using? Is this a retired design? I couldn't find in on the HAED website.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
Wow that is huge. Happy that it's easier on you now. Keep up the great stitching! I've enjoyed all ur updates so far can't wait to see more :)
