From Don-isewman--My hoop skirt & repaired GRGarden
1st off THANK YOU-THANK YOU to Daffy Daphne. She sent me direction for a hoop skirt. And I made me one. So instead of sewing a long strip to do hand quilting, on the outer edge, I'll expierment with my hoop skirt, tonight, when I'm doing some hand quilting.. The 1st picture with the dark print around the light green, is the part, I had to do the minor zig-zagging[ATTACH=CONFIG]415206[/ATTACH].[ATTACH=CONFIG]415208[/ATTACH]The 2nd picture with lighter print, around the green, is what I put over the darker print/1st picture. 1st time for me was useing that invisible thread.[ATTACH=CONFIG]415209[/ATTACH]This is my hoop skirt, I made from the direction's, I got from Daffy Daphne. Again THANK YOU Daffy Daphne.

You're welcome, Don! I do have one suggestion for you, though: it looks like your hoop sleeve covers about 2/3 of your hoop space, rather than 1/3. This leaves you a much smaller area for working along your quilt edge. I think you'd be happier if you modified the sleeve so that it looks more like this:

HOOP SKIRT???? LOL!!! You can't even picture what I was imagining.....I just KNEW Don had lost his marbles, maybe had chosen today to come out of his closet in his Southern Belle 1860 hoop skirt, LOL!! I was almost scared to look!
Oh man, I am so glad I was able to read the rest of this post without "eye strain"; way to go Don!!!
And I learned some new vocabulary, too.

Very interesting. What is the purpose of this and how is it used.
It reminds me of my years of doing embroidery and I would put a piece of muslin over the worked area to keep it clean on the edges of the hoop while I held it. Not the same thing, just a memory.
Curious?
