The talented crew at Sublime Stitching have just added another product to their catalog:
Clean, unfussy hoop frames.
They’re perfect for displaying embroidery without extra loops or hangers showing at the top. I think they’d even work for displaying pieces of your favorite fabrics as well.
If you haven’t had a chance to read the Sublime Stitching blog – it’s definitely worth browsing through
