Review on 🧡 Q-Snap Frame 8x8: Durable and Easy-to-Use Embroidery and Quilting Hoop by Carla Anderson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

No more tire tracks!

Let's face it, tire marks are a pain. Who wants to spend over 100 hours on a big craft project only to be ruined by a pile of crumpled fabrics and bruised stitches? Not that girl, and I don't have to now! There are so many great things about this frame: 1.) Round cross section. The PVC pieces are 1" in diameter, completely smooth and round with no sharp edges that could wrinkle or warp the fabric. To adjust fabric tension, simply turn the latches inward (to loosen) or outward (to tighten) 2.) PVC pipe composition. The PVC pipe is light and strong, so your hands won't get tired from holding a heavy tire and your fingers won't cramp like after hours of spinning around a tire. .3.) Square Hoop Shape: When working with square pieces, the shape of the Q-Snap hoop allows you to position the hoop right on the edge of your design, allowing for maximum embroidery space that you don't have around the hoop nearly as much often to be moved like an embroidery frame. To reach the corner of a square or rectangular piece with the hoop, you need to position the hoop far to the side to reach the extreme edge of the corner.4. ) Modular design. I have uploaded a picture of the details in an 11" frame at http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/permalin. k/mo3PP84BBSJ0IIW/B00013MV30/ref=cm_ciu_images_pl_link. You can see that this particular frame is made up of 4 corner pieces (7" on one side, 2" on the other side), 4 connector pieces (2" long) and 4 C-brackets (8" long). The parts are interchangeable with other parts of the Q-snap frame, meaning you can mix and match them to create custom-sized frames, as well as add extensions (sold separately). Finding the perfect size Q-Snap hoop for every piece you sew is pretty easy! All of this makes this a useful, versatile and durable frame that will have you dropping the round hoop forever! I love my Q Snaps!
