Vetty Creations office partial closure: I have been unwell since mid November 2023. Orders are going out, though may be delayed when I'm having a really bad day/days. I respond to enquiries when I am able to. I apologise for this. It’s not what I want either.

embroidery hoop
Embroidery stand (sitting) and hoop

This useful system has a beautiful embroidery hoop, and a stand that you sit on, leaving hands free to work on your embroidery. They are sometimes known as "fanny frames". The hoop height can be adjusted, the hoop can be flipped up to access the back of the work, and it can be turned. I use one of these systems, and I LOVE it.

You will need to purchase a hoop (or more than one) AND a stand for this system to work. They are sold separately so that you can choose the hoop sizes that are most useful to you.

NB: Does not include embroidery.
