And if you appliqué, it's easier to remove and reuse when the foundation garment dies.

Trust me on this, as I've done extensive historical embroideries in real metal. Sorry guys, but the hoop or any other type is simply a compromise of your materials and skills and the quality you will achieve as a result. You can appliqué, yes. It's a completely historical and acceptable method of doing any type of embroidery. However, if you wish the embroidery to be done directly to the fabric, then the fabric on the frame is the way to go. Mark out your fabric with the garment pieces, transfer your embroidery patterns and then stretch on the frame. For the type of frame to use you can view a reproduction frame on our website. The URL is in the tagline. If you want further information, contact me.
