Whether you're working a small stumpwork slip or a large-scale masterpiece, having the right equipment to hold your fabric taut makes all the difference.
This week, we're featuring two favourite ‘hold your fabric tight tools’ - hoops and roller frames.
Nurge Embroidery Hoops
Nurge are serious hoops for series stitchers. Manufactured to the highest standard and crafted from laminated beech timber they feature brass screw fittings with slotted and hexagonal tightening heads to ensure maximum tension.

We currently stock the entire range of 8mm deep hoops featuring sizes 1 through 8 (4" to 12").
HoDai Woodworks Roller Frames
If your project requires something a little larger, the HoDai Woodworks Roller Frame is a quality Australian made product with robust webbing for tight tensioning.

Their 40cm (16") is lightweight, ideal for cross stitch and tapestry, and easily paired with a clamp or floor stand.
