Barnett's Laptop Hoops

This is the 18" square Barnett's hoop.

• Extra depth 1-1/4" vs. your local hobby & craft stores 3/4" - 1" hoops.
• Hand-made by Harry Barnett & sometimes his children help out too. :)
• Hand sanded for about an hour on each hoop so it is super smooth!
• Large T-knob installed allowing you to easily tighten the hoop. 
• Special locking washer holds the adjustment bolt secure. No spinning or loose bolts. 
• Made from Select Poplar Hardwoods  Made in Kingston, MA., U.S.A. 

The Square Hoop is the one to use when hand quilting borders and blocks inside the quilt top.  You can secure three sides of your quilt equally, and have the edge of the border running through the center of the hoop, and quilt all the way to the edge.  When the block fits inside the hoop, it allows you to quilt one block at a time without moving the hoop. These hoops are custom made in our shop, one at a time. This is not a mass produced overseas hoop that you buy in your local craft store.  This has been steamed and bent into a jig to form the square and allowed to dry for a couple days.  Next, the blocking is installed with a 4 - 1/2" bolt and an Easy Turn T-Knob, not the simple wing nut you see on all the cheapie hoops. Now it is hand sanded for over an hour with 3 different grades of sand paper to make it extra smooth.  This is one strong, high quality hoop.  If it should ever break, email me for a free replacement.
