Tutorial - hoops and needles the blog
E-Guni I found a blog
bats and found there very interesting text about tamborkach. It motivated me to write this short supplement.
begin with the typical hoops - wholesale of wood, plastic and resilient. First of all - absolutely not agree with the fact that they are narrower for embroidery. In the picture a wooden hoop DMC 8 mm wide, Susan Bates hoop with a width of a centimeter hoop
No-slip a width of 21 mm. Honestly say that in comparison with the other two hoop DMC is hopeless. Gently speaking.
Susan Bates hoop (the typical American plastic hoops) is a tiny tooth that once the outer rim is on the outside, so the material does not wrap up vertically downwards but first on it. I hope that this can be seen in the picture. The cost of the hoop is about 2-3 dollars, so it is much cheaper than the DMC ao much, much better.
hoops no-slip hold sensational, but are quite expensive. In their case, an additional safety feature is a groove in the inner rim, in which wpasowywuje a spear in the outer, I highly recommend.
Now a few words about the tension of the canvas. With a certain horror pictures have noticed on blogs with embroidery in canvas embroidery in the hoop, which was loose. English term for a well holding the hoop is a 'drum tight' or as a drum. I check the voltage of the canvas lightly tapping with your finger and if it is well rozpownaję tense by the sound. Well it is to be heard - if not it is wrong kawna tight and if you canvas the impact of such a poluzowywuje it means that the hoop is tightened or bad or just bad quality and you have to exchange it for another. You can try to save a thin ribbon twisting hoop, but from my experience that the effect is never like the plastic tamborkach.
Somewhere in their resources have sprung hoop, but not pleased me especially to the taste, so do not even know where it is. How do I find a picture to the documentation:)
Now, plastic hoops with no screws - yes I have, but I do not use. The outer rim is a hard plastic, the inner groove and has a soft plastic. I fully agree that it is better to use it as a frame, the canvas is applied to it very badly and in addition holds the best. Is as follows:
raise another guard on the sides of the fabric embroidery - call it a working margin. So all I am aware of the source zalecją that this margin was 2 to 3 inches or 5 to 7.5 cm. There is no excuse. It is framing the need for future work and gives us leeway - the work can be moved from one hoop to another, or on the frame without worrying about whether b edzie match.
hoop if it is not wrapped in the material should be such that its diameter fits all work. Otherwise, destroy the edges tightly squeezed embroidery.
In case of emergency when, for example bad przeliczyłyśmy amount needed to save the canvas can be framed Siesta.
are available in sets (link to Sewandso but I saw them in Polish stores or online) and can be made to fit sizes dowonie work. Canvas after the imposition of obklejamy tape and insert pins. In the picture frame 10x22.5 cm, which is stretched aida 18''
This frame is also suitable for needlepoint - I do not know what is the Polish term for this type of embroidery. Photo
q-snap'som I did not. I guess everyone already knows how they look. Generally, English (R & R) hold a little better than the American. As to the accuracy put it between wooden and plastic tamborkami DMC. Recently I found the forum Haed information that significantly improves the accuracy of placement on a frame of thin pieces of rubber - as soon as I find the source and see if it works I will know.
yet have the resources framework - the so-called "easy clip
. The upper and lower frame elements are indented and the imposition of canvas pinned to it with plastic buckles. They are comfortable to use, keep well (although after a few hours loosens the fabric which is not the case for plastic hoops) and can exchange between themselves the elements of the framework. In the picture I hope you can see the mechanism of action and by the way that backstitch'e the sock is slowly moving forward:)

At the end of this lengthy entry but it's not a topic I'll brag about shopping:) The order was shipped on Thursday Sewandso was on Monday in Krakow.
canvas completed it with previous purchases, can be useful for someone combination of colors-
Zweigart linen in colors (from left) white (100), white with pearl strands (1111), Antique White (101) and cream (222). Plus supplements in the form of needles (I was able to within half a year to lose the contents of the previous set of 50 pieces - unbelievable), bags for cotton threads and embroidery floss Polstitches).
