 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.

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.
