When I was working the samples for my book Hardanger Filling Stitches<\/a>, I found that a tiny little hoop was really useful for working filling stitches with diagonals, such as the Wheel Stitch shown. Having the fabric flat in a hoop meant you couldn’t accidentally work the stitches too tight, resulting in unpleasant puckering of the fabric. Usually, I don’t use a hoop for Hardanger, but I did find it helpful for the fillings. <\/p>\n I have these great little 3inch\/7.5cm diameter wooden hoops available. They’re just the right size for working a single motif. They have lovely smooth wood, and the screw has a slot for a screwdriver to get the hoop really tight.
