Embroidery Frames and Stands: When, Where, and Why
If you are serious about the craft of embroidery, it is time to consider going beyond the cosy armchair and start taking your workplace seriously. Holding a hoop in your hands may seem like the obvious way to embroider, but it may not always be the most practical. Whether you are into tapestry or beading techniques, a frame is where you should start. However, the more complicated pieces you take on the sooner you will realize the importance of having both hands free. This is where an embroidery frame or a hoop stand comes in.
