🧵 Caydo 5-Piece Plastic Embroidery Hoops Set in Multicolor - Cross Stitch Hoop Embroidery Circle Range from 5 to 11 inches Review

I prefer plastic hoops over wooden hoops - no rough edges or worries about flimsy material or snagging silk threads. Once the hoop is in place and snug, I can also tug on the fabric a little here and there to get a smooth fit without fear of any snags. The screw mechanisms are easy to tighten/loosen and work very smoothly. The plastic is very malleable, which makes it easy to attach the hoop to fabrics of different thicknesses. Good range of sizes. Storage bag is a nice bonus

They will not work with the Aida fabric that came with the Dimensions cross stitch kit I purchased. The tires have a prominent protrusion that protrudes all the way around the inner tire and then a notch all the way around the outer hoop.

The outer hoop just refused to tighten, it just kept slipping.

This tire is not made properly and I cannot use it. For embroidery hoops, one side of the inner hoop should be smooth and the other side of the inner hoop should be ribbed to hold the hoop without damaging the fabric. Completely loosen the screw to fit the inner shackle into the outer shackle while attempting to assemble the outer shackle onto the tab on the inner shackle. This design is also very bad for taking care of your fabric or crafts that may be on the embroidery hoop. You don't have to
