As part of this month’s Premier Event, BERNINA is also offering an Accessory Savings Special on all Embroidery Hoops — Buy One, Get One 50% Off MSRP! This includes Freearm Hoops, Clamp Hoops, Hoop Inserts and many more! (Must be equal or lesser value to lowest priced item.) Embroider with more precision with BERNINA embroidery hoops, invaluable tool that lets you easily craft your embroidery for more beautiful results.

“You may think that you don’t need several sizes because all you need is one large hoop that you can stitch all designs from small to large,” shares Susan Beck, editor of the BERNINA Big Book Series. “But if you want your stitched design to be beautifully stitched, select a hoop as close to the design size as possible. This reduces the likelihood of the fabric pulling toward the center of the hoop, which helps to prevent puckering and gaps in the design. Also, the shape of your hoop can make a difference in the finished design. If you have a stitch-intensive item, such as freestanding lace, an oval hoop provides the most evenly distributed tension with the best stitching results.” Stock up on BERNINA hoops with this special deal!
