Yesterday I had an enquiry about the wonderful embroidery hoops with stands<\/a> that I sell:<\/p>\n

I wanted to ask whether the 8 inch is the one you find best to use. I looked up White threads again, and saw that you said you can order in other sizes. I have inflammatory arthritis in a number of my finger joints (and problems with other vertebrae) and presently use a 4 inch hoop (no stand). I must say I like the idea of the wider hoop, I thought you said once you also have back problems, so hopefully the hoop makes life easier. Have you used the hoop plus stand successfully when sitting on a low lounge chair as well as on a firm upright chair? I know you said the height was adjustable, so hopefully this allows both. Are these made in Australia?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nMy answer:
\nI use hoops that are either 7inch or 8inch (I have both). I have an 11inch (I think!) that I use occasionally. I too prefer smaller rather than larger hoops. Having a stand will mean you don’t have to reach around the side of your hoop to hold it (as you are probably currently doing with your 4 inch hoop). This will probably help your arthritis immensely – having the stand to hold your hoop instead of your hands. Even without arthritis, I find that holding a hoop really stiffens up my hand and makes it sore.<\/p>\n

With both hands free, you can keep them both moving more, and also access the entire hoop much more easily. So it doesn’t need to be quite so small as you’re obviously used to.<\/p>\n

Yes, I use the stand successfully on our lounge, my office chair, dining room chairs, train seats, swimming pool spectator benches… you name it! It works on them all, and yes, as you say you can move the height up and down.<\/p>\n

They are not made in Australia. I think they are German. They are lovely smooth wood – very good quality.<\/p>\n

I hope that might answer some of *your* questions too, about these lovely embroidery hoops with stands<\/a>. I use mine as often as I can, as it is such a pleasure to use. I will have these hoops and stands with me at the Sydney Craft and Quilt Fair at Darling Harbour from June 22-26, so you can see them for yourself, and even see me using one. If I happen to run out of stock because they’re so popular, I’ll happily take an order for you and post it to you after the show.<\/p>\n

If you ever have any questions about the products we sell here at Vetty Creations, please contact me with your questions. I’ll be only too happy to answer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
