It's amazon
It wasn't my cup of tea. Each of the three was donated. A sharp edge on the outside. No thank you. Since they appear to be poorly constructed, I assume they are made in China.
It's really hard for me to say. Is it possible that there is too much Would it be how it closes that has caused the problem?

really like how easy it is to use these embroidery hoops. There has always been a difficulty in getting decent tension from typical screw-on rivets It was impossible to not pull the fabric as the hoops were always tightened. The snaps I use are difficult for me because my fingers have difficulty moving. I set one end in a ring lay the fabric over the plastic part then squeeze the metal ring and set the other end Tension can be achieved by pulling on the fabric slightly Lastly, lay the metallic ring back on the plastic, release the handles, and press it into place. If you fold evenwoven linens, you need two layers, otherwise the linen will not hold its tension, but it doesn't pose a problem and keeps the excess fabric out of your Taking on projects is so much faster and easier for me now that I find myself picking them up much You may find these difficult to use if you have difficulty bending and squeezing against mild resistance, but as I previously stated, I have hand issues and am able to use them perfectly.
The difference is so great that there are no comparisons. The only way I could possibly give ten stars is by giving ten. If you use a needle for any purpose, you should be aware of the following I would like to see them succeed. Be amazed at what you will see!.
Those three layers of satin and stabilizer in the picture are all in the same hoop so the fabric holds a considerable amount of tension. As I turn the silver piece just to make sure it fits snugly, I pinch the silver clasps, slide them in, and secure them. They did meet my machine sewing needs and I'm delighted. I haven't used them for hand sewing yet and am awaiting their use for hand sewing.
A set of 3 Edwards assorted items. Some of these I have added to my collection and some I have loaned out to people in our women's ministry group who are involved in a mission project. I was a bit concerned because some reviews stated that the fabric may not hold as tight as those from years past. As long as you reattach the fabric to the clips on occasion, they are working fine.
The quality of these was very poor. Plastic and metal are so bad that even my cross stitch project cannot be held. The metal is too thin and the plastic is rough. Buy it if you can't stand it.
As well as counted cross stitch, French knot embroidery, and machine embroidery, I have used them for lots of other things. In addition to being able to move the hoops easily from one part of the pattern to another, these hoops maintain the materials taut every time. Moreover, the hoops are narrow enough to easily fit under a sewing machine foot, so that sewing machine embroidery can be done easily. To change the shape of the pattern, simply squeeze the ends of the round metal holder, remove it from the circular hoop, then slide the material to the next part, squeeze the metal ends once again, slip it into the circular hoop, and then release it. Metal expands and other material returns to its original state. Due to the automatic adjustment of the metal holder to the thickness of the material, there is no need to twist a screw to tighten the hoop. Using these hoops for my needlework has been a great experience for me and I have every size at my disposal. In addition, these hoops will not break, split, or develop splinters from use over the course of many Despite having purchased some of these hoops from this dealer in the 1970s, I still have some that are just as good as the ones I own now. As of now, I am teaching one of my granddaughters to The embroidery hoop that I bought her did not fit properly on the fabric. The kit had instructions on how to tighten it properly. This is the first time she has been able to use the hoops so easily.
The inner ring pops right out of the hook and is impossible to reattach. Maybe they aren't meant for thicker needlework fabrics like Aida, but they pop out far too easily and are hard to reattach. All three sizes are affected by this. When my mother passed away (I think sometime in the 70's or 80's) I had a set of these that I had never had trouble with, but I You should go elsewhere if you plan to use typical needle-work fabric, several layers of fabric, or any other fabric that is typically used for needle-work crafts.
Those hoops were made using only the cheapest material on the market. A lot of metal is popping out and the tension is not good. To increase the tension, you have to spread the hoop apart, but this lasts only for a short while. It is a shallow groove in the plastic that causes the material to fail to clamp. There are better options out there. We will look for something of higher quality there.
