Susan Bates embroidery hoops
I'm having a devil of a time finding anybody online that sells Susan Bates
embroidery hoops where I can buy all of the available sizes and also specify the color of hoop I receive. I know it sounds picky, but I can't stand the thought of staring at a lime green, blaze orange, or neon yellow hoop the whole time I'm stitching. My eyes would be screaming for help after less then a minute. http://www.coatsandclark.com/find_a_...ops_frames.htm I have one of the smaller bright pink ones, and I like it very much. It's quite handy for the amount of stitching on the go that I do...stuffing my work into an old plastic biscuit box and hopping into the car. I tried Herrschners, since that was the only place that was listed that sells them online, but they will not let you pick the color, and every time I think I've got myself convinced that I could put up with a yellow/orange/lime hoop...my eye starts twitching in protest. Anybody know where I could get all nine hoops for a reasonable price? Becky A. |

This *may* require you to fill out the form manually and fax it to them. -- Finished 7/18/04 -- 6 bear ornaments WIP: Fireman's Prayer (#2), Amid Amish Life, Angel of Autumn, Calif Sampler, Holiday Snowglobe Paralegal - Writer - Editor - Researcher http://hometown.aol.com/kmc528/KMC.html |

Did you look at Nordic Needle? Last I checked, they many sizes.
It's just started raining - I guess we're getting the first touches of Ivan here in western NC. Just looked at NOAA's track - Ivan is going to be sitting on NC for the entire weekend. Anyone got an Ark I can borrow?

Nope, but, we're under flash flood watch here in the East TN valley. I was
worried I was going to have to row home from work Angela L. "fran" wrote in message news Did you look at Nordic Needle? Last I checked, they many sizes.

Since they have their own order number they will all be pink even though it's not the same as the Hoop-La color you want. At least they won't blind you with their neon-ness. The only other suggestion I have is to look in your local craft store for other sizes of the Hoop-La hoops in pink and get them when you can. If the store puts out a sale paper it may have coupons in it that will reduce your cost. Debra in VA |

Well, as I am currently living in Norway, it's a little difficult to pop over to the local Walmart or Michaels (boy, do I wish I could!!). I was so busy with putting a wedding together at the last minute and then managing my Norwegian in-laws who had never been to North America...that I didn't have the time to stock up on the things that I thought I would before I left the US. I've been looking for a set of ANY color. I saw those pastel pink hoops, but I've had the same trouble with finding them in a set as I did the brighter colors. That's the last time I let hubby mess with my alarm clock...it's too early to be up... Becky A. |
