embroidery hoops.

i have been embroidery for the last two days and forgot how much I LOVE IT. i've been working in embroidery hoops as i find them convenient and neat to work with stitch. the embroidery hoop also keeps work flat and tight and allows you to add much more detail to hand stitching. it's also good to use them on the sewing machine and you can embroider freely without sewing your finger... i have had to learn to be patient!

i have created a few samples; (translating colour from my photos)
