There are many ways to finish your hoop but I’m going to talk you through my preferred method of sewing a circle of felt to the back of the hoop

So there you have it! My go to method for finishing my hoops ready for display.

I also sew a small woven label to the back of the felt as seen below… you may decide to sign the back of your hoops in a similar way. You could sew a small motif on to the felt circle before you sew it to the hoop for example! Just remember that you will be stretching is slightly as you sew it so any motif would have to be small and not easily warped.

Happy stitching!
