How do you store your hoops, mine are on hooks, but was wondering if this will damage them in time & if left out would they go brittle, just wondering, Jean xx

I store mine flat in plasticbags [separate] in a drawer

Thanks for your comment, Jean xx

Good question. I now have two machines so two different types of hoops, but I keep switching what I do as I would like to hang them up so they are easi;y accessible to me as right now I have one set standing on the floor between my cabinet and my thread storage unit.

This is a lovely idea, mine are also on hooks, at least this way it keeps the dust off. Hugs Maureen

Oh very nice, Jean xx

Mine are on hooks since we moved - behind the door so they are not seen. Cant say any long time impact since they have not been hanging for long.

Looks like most of us keep them on hooks, thanks for commenting, Jean xx

I have mine lying flat in boxes.

I've had mine on hooks for 15 years without any problem. However, since I got my new machine and it has different hoops but look a lot like my older ones, I've had to start storing them in drawers to keep the hoops/templates separate as I was starting to use the wrong template with the machine I was going to use.

Mine are stored in a drawer under the machine's table.

Mine are on the floor to the left of my machine in a wooden kitchen pot lid rack. Quite easy to grab, even without looking!

That's a good idea, Jean xx

I have mine on hooks also but they hang on a wall out of direct sunlight.
Good question

I also have mine hanging on hooks on the wall. Never thought that they could get damaged that way. Curious what others think.

Hooks looks the best way, Jean xx

Good question. I have mine on hooks too, but I keep the curtains shut in my sewing room unless I am in there so I don't think sun will be an issue for mine.
