I'm now The Destroyer of Embroidery Hoops. Yes, I did it again. Tonight I was tightening the screw at the top of the hoop after moving the fabric and the screw just snapped. It turns out that the screw wasn't solid metal, but hollow and filled with a cement like something. And this was supposed to be a good quality hoop.
Luckily I still had some spares, but they were bigger. I had one that I think must be 11 inch which fit my project and just about fit in the mesh bag I use as project bag. This one is the "extra good quality) one I think. Also it's big enough so I don't have to move the fabric anymore. But I don't have a grime guard for this size, so I'll need to use clips to keep the excess fabric out of the way.
I will be taking my project with me on my trip tomorrow. Who know, I might have some energy to do some stitching tomorrow evening.
