Now, there are various frames available and each one is designed for individual purposes. So, let’s explore all one by one. These can be categorized into two categories i.e. hoops and frames.

 A) Embroidery Hoops
Embroidery hoop consists of two rings. One ring has a smaller diameter and another one that has a slightly larger diameter. The big ring has a screw which is used for tightening the fabric on which you are working on.
They are easy to work when you have a small design. The best thing about these is they are inexpensive, take small space, comfortable to hold in one hand and can be easily moved from surface to surface in big embroidery projects. These hoops come mainly in two materials, i.e. plastic and wood. Both are good and come in various sizes. You can choose whichever size suits you the best.
These can also be used for doing paintings and framing the design. The major advantage with these hoops is that they can be used for hand as well as machine embroidery and you can buy embroidery hoops online at wholesale prices here.

1) Round Embroidery Hoops

 These circular hoops are round in shape and are available in various sizes like 4 Inch, 5 Inch, 6 Inch, 7 Inch, 8 Inch, 10 Inch, 12 Inch, and 14 Inch. You can choose the size according to the size of the project. They are good at maintaining equal tension on all sides of the fabric.



2) Oval Hoops

 These can be used in cases where you have a design which is more length wise like a plant.



3) Square Hoop

 If you have a design that is squarer in shape then you can try this frame as it will help you to visualize your design in a much better way.



4) Triangle Hoop

 Similar to above, if you have a triangular design, you can use this frame. You will easily be able to envision the design in the best way.



B) Slate Embroidery Frames/ Adda
