Embroidery Hoop, Machine Free-Motion Work
High quality wooden Embroidery Hoop that is specifically made for Machine Embroidery* - works perfectly for doing Free-Motion Machine Embroidery on your Featherweight 221 or 222 or any Sewing Machine. You may ask which size is best? Well, I find that the 4-inch and 6-inch work best for the Featherweight machine, but I have been able to work the 8-inch as well, it just takes some maneuvering when working around the motor area at the back of the machine with the 8-inch. I would recommend the larger sizes for larger head machines such as the Singer 401 (401A), 500 (500A), 503, etc... Be sure to look through all the images above for examples. * Free-Motion Embroidery is not quite the same as Free-Motion Quilting. The hoops are not necessary for Free-Motion Quilting, but are especially helpful when tracing signatures or doing fine-detailed Machine Embroidery work (see photos for samples). What makes a Machine Embroidery Hoop different from a hand-embroidery hoop? Good question - well
