At 5.5″ square (140mm x 140mm) the SQ14 Hoop is just the right size for many embroidery designs. For best results you want your hoop to be close to the size of the design you’ll be stitching out so the edges of the hoop support the fabric and keep it from flexing as the needle goes in and out. You’ll find that this square hoop is ideal for thousands of commercially available embroidery designs.
