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

Good price for basic embroidery hoops

I’ve been using these embroidery hoops for just over 3 years now, and they work great!

I used this item to make Christmas ornaments.

Out of the 12 of them there’s only one that has a small issue. The metal closure assembly is missing one fastener but I think it’s something I can fix. I’m using these for projects for a craft fair. Thinking about ordering more. I suppose if you wanted to you could actually use these for embroidery or counted cross stitch.

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.

Not a whole lot to say. The hoops are sturdy and once tightened to the fabric hold pretty well. I havent had any issues. I got these to be frames for some cross-stitch gifts I was giving out for Christmas. I only had trouble unscrewing a few of them but that was just because they were tightened so far that I just had to use a screwdriver to open them up, but I dont think that is really a negative about the product just happened to be the way a couple of them arrived.

These are great! Exactly what I was looking for, and at a great price. No damages or defects that I can see. Screws work just fine. Will be great for my projects!

Dont depend on measurements. Where the photo indicated it was 3 inches....it was in fact 3.25 inches. The interior dimension was even 3.125 inches. I could accept variation but this is too much for slight variation. I chose Caydo because more customers had reviewed, but now I wonder whether the other seller/brands would have been better. This 1/4 inch discrepancy will mean that the other project pieces sized for a 3 diameter will not work. They did arrive overnight as indicated. I will keep these 3 1/4 hoops for another project...just disappointed, particularly after spending time to find particularly sized ornaments.

The screws that should be used to loosen and tighten the hoops will not budge unless you use pliers. In my opinion that makes these useless. I had bought to give as gifts, but I would be embarrassed to tell the recipients that they won’t work as they should.

I never buy these in store because it’s so much cheaper to get them from amazon in bulk. I make embroidered designs to sell and these hold up well through the shipping process to customers. They’re very simple to use, same as your standard hoop. Good for beginners or avid threaders. Also take wood again well if you want to change the color.
