Review on BigOtters 6PCS Embroidery Hoops: Bamboo Circle Cross Stitch Hoop Ring Set for Christmas Ornaments & DIY Sewing Crafts by Amy Mcleod

I decorate my embroidered works in a baguette workshop, and the works of my children are small, so it’s really possible to choose a ready-made frame for them. Once in the "Igolochka" store, I stumbled upon a Gamma hoop-frame. They come in different shapes: round, oval and square. The first ones I bought were round and square hoops. The hoop has a common design - two rings, between which the fabric is clamped. Round and oval hoops have a hanger. The pendant is held on the hoop with a screw, which, if desired, can be unscrewed and the pendant removed. The truth will be a hole. First of all, I decided to try out the Gamma square hoop-frames on my embroidery as a hoop. The unusual shape in the form of a square, as it seemed to me, would help in embroidering the corners of the canvas, but I wish I hadn't tried it. It turned out that they were painted so badly that they dyed a white canvas for me! Noticing this, I immediately removed the hoop and ran to wash the work. Despite my efforts, the traces were not completely removed! After this experiment, I completely ruled out the possibility of using the Gamma frame hoop as a hoop. It remains to try their second part of the name - as a frame. They hold the fabric very tightly, but despite this, when clamping, the canvas can easily be pulled up in the right places. Spontaneous separation of the hoop is simply impossible. As a frame, this little thing may well be used, but due to all of the above - only once and for all. So, we take the embroidery, we clamp it between the rings: Turn the frame inside out and cut off the excess canvas: Now, to protect the canvas from shedding, we process it with glue: Of course, from the inside, it still doesn’t turn out very aesthetically pleasing, but it’s quick and easy. The finished work of my twelve year old son: My daughter started sewing at the age of six. Here is her first work in satin stitch in an oval frame: and her subsequent works in round frames: For hoop-frames, any canvas and fabric is suitable. The price for such frames is small: from 100 to 300 rubles. depending on the size. Conclusion: this product cannot fulfill its function as a hoop due to dyeing of the fabric, but it is quite suitable as a frame for small works.
