Sewing Embroidery Hoop fit SINGER Machine 221 222 ~ 8"

 

8 inch Sewing Machine Embroidery Hoop FINALLY!  The Hoop for doing Machine Embroidery on your Featherweight 221 or 222... or any Sewing Machine for that matter! It's taken me some time, but I have found a new HIGH-QUALITY Embroidery Hoop that is specifically made for Machine Embroidery.  This particular one is 8 inches in diameter.  I do have to be a bit more guided with this size hoop on the Featherweight - because of the motor angle on the machine. What makes a Machine Embroidery Hoop different?  Good question - well, first of all, its thickness.  It is narrow for easy maneuverability under the embroidery foot / shank.  A regular hand embroidery hoop, whether metal, plastic or wood, generally has a wider rim, making it difficult to get underneath the foot.  Also, a regular hand embroidery hoop is not designed for constant motion simultaneous with the needle all the while holding the fabric consistently taut - which is of utmost importance.  Therefore, this particular machine embroidery hoop is made of very sturdy high-quality wood.  It will withstand constant motion and adjustment for your fabric thicknesses.  I used one with a completed quilt (all thicknesses) so I could machine embroider names of those who attended a baby shower. LOTS OF PHOTOS Be Sure & See All Photo Samples!     Your attention is called to the florals in the image below, but more importantly what do you see?  Florals, greenery... Well, it is a photographic reproduction of an actual piece of Art Needlework which was made entirely on a Singer Sewing Machine nearly 80 years ago.  But, you ask, how were those flowers created?  With the right instruction, a feed-dog cover plate and the appropriate embroidery / darning attachment, Machine Embroidery can range from the 'Practical' (darning) to the 'Artistic'...  Just look at the beauty of it - can you see the detail?  Just like they did in the "olden days"...   You can start out simple - everything, as you know, takes practice.  But, before you start at all, you will certainly need this very useful tool - a high-quality wooden Machine Embroidery Hoop. A great item for Singer Sewing Machine owners and for those who want to venture into Machine Embroidery as well!     This auction is for 8 inch Embroidery Hoop only.

Dear Friends of the Needle,

....We are friends because we all know one thing in common, that is, the joy of the needle, that little one-eyed help-meet, that will act as a vent for all those artistic feelings that demand outlet and expression in the form of making and doing things.

What a big family we are, all wielders of the little sewing needle, the knitting needle, the crochet hook and the machine needle in its multiplicity of forms, from the very fine one that will sew the gossamer frock of the little girl’s fancy dress, to the heirloom quilt, to the sturdy member that sews our leather gloves and shoes. Truly, they are one-eyed helpmeets that have added to our comforts and helped us to make progress through this busy world.

But if the machine needles had not been harnessed to good reliable instruments, so that they could work in the quickest and neatest way, they could not have done so much good, and that is why we, as needle workers, are grateful to the age-old Sewing Machine Companies for giving us that vintage instrument and in turn, giving it a beautiful setting with which to work.

We also have to be thankful for the vintage service of instruction, so that even those with basic knowledge can be taught how to make the most of their machine and its wonderful attachments.

Now you have the privilege of purchasing vintage books and instruction on how to make, mend and design, with professional tips, all of which would cost a large sum if you took lessons in the ordinary way. Here you have the written word that remains, as well as illustrations and diagrams making every point clear. It is my privilege to impart some of that knowledge to you and it is a joy to know from your letters that it has helped women in some of the loneliest corners of the world. The word “Sewing” and all it conveys is beyond description in this limited space.

My special message to you is - be a Singer Sewer and your troubles are o'er. You can have pretty, smart frocks, dainty underwear, house-linen, and little Jack and Mary can be well and comfortably dressed without encroaching too much on the family exchequer.

If you want any information on machines or obtaining service for your machine, please write to me through my page and I will assist you.

In the meantime, I am going forth to continue the good work of gratifying more friends of theneedle.

As Always - Your Stitchery Friend,
