GREAT hoop, no snagging Sep 08, 2009
By J. Rubenstein
I REALLY like this hoop a lot. I have it in 4" and 7" sizes. I'm embroidering silk, so it's import for there not to be anything for the fabric or thread to catch on. The plastic is smooth, with no rough plastic seams. I really like the covered screw for tightening, it's easy to use and never gets in the way of my thread.
The ONLY reason I docked a star is probably my fault. When I removed one of my pieces of silk, the threads in the fabric had puled and separated. I'm learning that there are other techniques to use when placing the fabric in the hoop, that keep the fabric taut, but avoid this kind of wear (like wrapping the two hoops in strips of cotton, or winding masking tape around both hoops, or using tissue paper between the fabric and the hoop).
I've been generally pleased with embroidery tools from Clover.

4 3/4 inch hoop OK Sep 12, 2009
By K. Kitchener
I ordered both the 4 3/4 inch hoop and the 7 inch hoop. The smaller hoop is ok, it is heavy - compared to the older ones but once you get used to it its ok, love the no tangle screw cover. The larger one is too large for what I do but I am keeping it. It may come in handy some day.

 So much better than the typical wooden frames Oct 12, 2010
By Gwendolyn Dawson
"Literary License"
I've been using wooden frames for stitching projects every since I started stitching years ago. I became used to the annoyance of the slipping frames, the loose canvas, and the splintering wood. Finally, I got frustrated enough to try this plastic frame. This new type of frame was a revelation to me! The screw mechanism is easy to use and does not snag on threads. Even better, the frame never slips once it is tightened in place. The interlocking plastic rings allow for a very tight stretch to the canvas, which makes stitching so much easier. I highly recommend this product.
 Great concept, but a little more work Aug 12, 2010

The idea of covering the screw on an embroidery hoop is an excellent idea. It does away with threads getting caught up in the screw housing. The plastic seems to be a high grade and it appears this hoop is durable. However, you must actually twist this screw to open the hoop, while on the open screw type, you can spin it with your finger. If struggling with thread catching on the screw housing is a big deal for you, then you might find this style more to your liking. For me, the actual twisting of the screw took too much time. The $10.00+ price tag seems too high.
