Embroidery Hoops and Frames
A generally accepted view is that if you embroider on AIDA, you need to use flower support; if you embroider on linen, you can't use it, you have to support it with your hands. However, in reality, many people have their own hobbies. Some people who like to keep their embroidery neat and tidy do not use round flower supports when embroidering linen but choose square embroidery frames to avoid damaging the embroidery or leaving irremovable marks. If you already like to use a flower stick, then use it; if you feel that you can grasp the tension of the embroidery thread by hand, then there is no need to force yourself to change.
The advantages of not using an embroidery frame:
The operation of embroidery is like sewing clothes, it does not require much wrist movement, and it is much faster to embroider. There is no need to worry about leaving traces of the embroidery frame on the embroidery. The size is small, no embroidery frame or flower stand takes up space, and it is light to carry. Some people like the feeling of holding the embroidered cloth in their hands, which is also a very important pleasure in doing cross stitch.
The benefits of using an embroidery frame:
The embroidery frame can tighten the embroidery cloth to make it flat. The embroidery frame can also not be too tight to be embroidered in the same way as sewing clothes. Using the embroidery frame can make the progress of the embroidery at a glance without stopping to unfold it. There are two types of embroidery frames: desktop and vertical. The vertical embroidery frame can be embroidered with two hands, one on the top and the other on the bottom. A well-crafted embroidery frame is also a wonderful piece of furniture, with unfinished embroidery and a very homely atmosphere. For those who have difficulty holding the embroidery in their hands for a long time, the vertical embroidery frame is the best choice, because the embroidery frame reduces the pressure on ligaments, joints, and muscles, especially suitable for older embroidery friends.
