Celebrating the French Hoop Ten Year Anniversary! All orders of the French Hoop will come with a French General linen sampler! A French General Exclusive! This beautiful hoop is ideal for embroiderers, quilters and sewers. Made out of rolled brass and a steel coil wire this light-weight hoop is easy on your hands and will hold your fabric taut without putting stress on your fabric. Works best on a light-weight fabric such as linen, cotton or silk. Now available in 2 sizes: 4" is a very sweet little French Hoop which doesn't cover a lot of ground but makes a beautiful frame for finished work. $24.00 6" is the classic size and the best French Hoop to start with. Once you have mastered this hoop you will want the 4” hoop as well! $30.00 Reviews: I use them all the time and here are a few observations: Love working with the 8" size but it's a bit fussy getting the fabric on the hoop. Only because of its size. Once it's there it's great. I have been using medium to heavy weight linen. All great. On all sizes. I think the 6" is the most versatile for me. Just tried a light weight chambray like linen and that didn't stay as tight on the 4". But love the size for the tiny patches and Blythe doll clothes I started making. But with that said I really prefer your hoops over any I tried. It's easy to move them around on my work and you have to tighten up the wood ones up anyway and that's a pain. -Michele Muska Wholesale?
