This is the 18" square Barnett's hoop.
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.

I only have Barnett hoops now. Once you try one, you won't want those cheap, flimsy hobby store hoops. This square one is 100% perfect for almost everything! I'm in love.
