I periodically ask customers what they love the most about machine embroidery and many say In The Hoop Projects. So, isn’t it ALL in the hoop? Well…yes it is, but an In The Hoop Project is actually a machine embroidery design that is more than just a design. It’s a project and once completed is actually a 3-D object that is finished. For instance, an actual purse you can carry or a place mat you can use for entertaining. Even stuffed animals can be made In The Hoop, although they’re usually called Stuffies. So…if you just purchased an embroidery design and you want to put it on a purse, you would have to figure out a way to stitch that design onto a purchased purse, but if that same design is included in an In The Hoop Purse, you would be able to create that ENTIRE purse In The Hoop WITH the design on it! Isn’t that cool? If you have an embroidery machine and have never tried In The Hoop, just be forewarned, it is habit forming!

So, like I said many, many customers say their most favorite thing about machine embroidery is being able to create those In The Hoop Projects, but I have also gotten some other interesting reasons. I thought I would share some of these with you!
