Caydo 12 Pieces 6 Inch Embroidery Hoops Set Bulk Bamboo Circle Cross Stitch Hoop Round Ring

The hoops are fine - though you may get a few in the bunch that have a harder time closing or a splinter or two, but overall good quality. I came back to buy more and I see they are saying you are saving $5 which, is a lie. I understand pricing for Amazon goes up and down, but this is literally $1 less than it was last week (and that was going up $4 from a few months ago. I dont appreciate the deception.

Of the 12…..3 were warped. Would I buy again? Probably not.

No store near me had 5 hoops in stock, which I wanted for crafting Christmas tree ornaments as gifts - Christmas fabric, felt on back, ribbon on rim. These hoops are uniformly well made , but inexpensive, so I was pleased to find them. Fast shipping, protected in shrink wrap in a box. I would order again.

1 of the hoops in my order had slightly bent hardware that made it almost impossible to tighten when I used it. I threw it away. The rest did just fine, and I’ll probably even order them again because they’re so *cheap*! Just know that once in a while you’ll get a few messed up ones. Hopefully not in every order though.

Did not like the extra bolt on the end of the screw. Made it very hard to tighten while holding the fabric in place.

UPDATED: I just reordered these because I did like the first order. Now it’s a different set of hoops: lighter washed wood and NO holes to screw it tight. See picture. I just hate ordering it multiple times but getting different alterations of the product. Overall, these hoops are great and I love how you can use a screw driver to tighten them. The only reason I give 4 instead of 5 stars is a couple of the hoops have imperfections on the wood. Not a huge deal but it does draw attention. For sure will be buying again because it’s a great deal.

I didnt get any unusable ones in the pack. On the last one, the inner hoop was a little out of round, but once the outer hoop was tightened over it, it looked fine and held the fabric. Here and there you can find a small fiber sticking up from the bamboo, which is easily removed. No problems with the screws.

I bought these specifically to display embroidery in, one of them broke after arrival while I was placing the embroidery in it to prep for display, the wood just wasnt strong enough, so I wont be using these for long term sewing in. They were fine for the one project and then hanging.

The main thing I look for in purchasing embroidery hoops is the type of tightening screw/knob used on the hoops. I like the type of knob where I can insert a phillips screwdriver, if needed, to further tighten the hoops together. When I saw these hoops and even zoomed in on the advertised picture I saw these had the type of knobs I like so I made my purchase. I was very, very disappointed upon receiving my order and seeing that the knobs were NOT phillip-type, but only flat-head (see picture), the type I totally dislike. I didnt even open the plastic packaging and immediately returned them and now I am submitting my review. I find it very offensive when companies advertise one thing but deliver sub-par performance, which is what this company did. I know I have to give a star rating because this review will not get published without doing so. If it was possible to give a negative star rating I would, so 1 star (and even that is more than they deserve) is what I am giving them.

This is the right size for making Christmas ornaments.
