Square Embroidery Hoop-Frame Idea
Years ago when my younger daughter was in Camp Fire Girls, I taught her group different embroidery stitches. Once a week the girls would come to our house, sit around our round oak table, and learn to stitch. Each girl had a doodle cloth on which she practiced different stitches.
The goal, after several weeks, was to create a design and then stitch it using the different embroidery stitches they had learned. In order for the girls to be creative, I had a friend make simple wooden frames that measured 8”x 10”. Then I stretched woven fabric onto each frame by pulling it tight and stapling it on the backside of the frame. After finishing, I muttered, “Why doesn’t someone invent a square embroidery hoop?” -- and that’s how the idea started. I still have my daughter’s stitchery and looking at it, I’m amazed at how creative she was using the different stitches.
