Nurge Beech Wood Quilting Hoops are of superb quality, and recommended by discerning users. They are made from high-quality polished European beech hardwood and are ideal for adding extra touches and embellishments to any quilt. They are a pleasure to use! They have deeper depth, ( 24mm, approx 1″ ), than embroidery hoops and have a strong wood block closure and screw wing nut, which is better for larger projects. This makes the hoop perfect for holding your fabric in place to stitch any beading, hand sewing, embroidery, or applique onto your next quilting project. Nurge quilting rings are all 24mm deep and range in size from 300mm (11.8″) to 500mm (20″). They made great display frames.
