Q snap vs. Hoop

Q snap or a hoop, one might wonder?
There is quite a few pros and cons for either of them but at the end it all depends on what works for you the best.
When I learned embroidery and single stitching years ago I used hoop and I loved it, but recently I’ve purchased a Q snap and I must say I love it even more.

If we’re talking controlling tension… then hoop might be a better bet as you can easily do that but what I found out is that not all of the wooden hoops are good in quality and quite often you can find a round mark on your work that will take forever to clean up (if you manage to do it in any case).

My favorite size to work with is 7” hoop its big enough but not too big and it fits in your hand easily.






On the other hand, Q snaps… are just too cute. As hoops they also come in various sizes.

My favorite one so far is 11” q snaps but I’ve just ordered 6” & 8” as well. Beauty of them also is that they’re interchangeable so you can easily create a size that fits your current project best.






What I like the BEST is the ability to make it personalized…. Look how cute this is…

Until we "meet" again.... keep on stitching
