Now when I spray, no goo goes on my hoop, only on the perspex surround. Sarah.

Terrific idea! Thanks for sharing.

Now that is a good idea. I am off to create something like it. Thanks for sharing.

Good idea isn't it fun to learn on this site from other sho so kindly share :):):)carolyn

I cut a piece of paper the same way you have your perspex one - does not last as long as your beautiful one!

Good idea! I had to look up perspex, but I suppose you could use anything, even cardboard, or the clear window insert from some packaging. For anyone else who isn't familiar with the name perspex, it is a brand name for an acrylic plastic.

One other thing that might be nice is to add centering marks to the template to line up with the centering marks on the hoop.

Maybe you need something heavier though so it doesn't blow away with the force of the spray.

Good idea about marking the centering marks.

Thank you for kind comments. I enclose a picture. Shame a corner broke when DH was cutting. He wants to make another one but it is fine as is. Sarah.

Thanks Sarah for the picture - it looks wonderful and very useful, too.

Great tip Sarah - yes I would love to see you submit it to EL and get a voucher for designs - go for it - could you share a picture - so we can see it - with and without the hoop?

I agree, send it in to EL.

Great idea, you need to send to embroidery library...you could win money for designs...hugs sally

A super idea.

What a great idea, Sarah!!!!!
