Day 535: Keep it Taut

I added this new photograph to Creative Journey in my Photography section, Embroidery: Wooden Hoop


I stitch most of my embroidery
'in the hand' rather than using a
hoop or Q-snap or frame. Yet I
still have all these tools and use them when warranted.

For some projects, it's extremely important to keep the fabric nice and taut so that stitches form well and the ground fabric does not become distorted. For surface embroidery, I still prefer the classic wooden hoop.
