My current cross stitch project is my biggest project yet. Because of all the details and different stitch counts I have been using a hoop. Once the project requires the hoop to be moved, do you hook the hoop over the already made stitches? Wont that ruin the stitches? I am just not sure how to go about moving the hoop around now that stitches are already made. I will share a picture showing how I am getting closer to the edges.

Krista -- what is the diameter of the hoop? I have an 8 inch hoop I could send you if it is larger than yours. I don't need my hoops since arthritis doesn't allow hand sewing anymore.

The hoop can be moved and clamped over stitches already made as long as the base beneath those stitches is not stretched.
