Sears-Frank A. Edmunds Co. Oval Hardwood Quilting Hoop with Stand #5590

Description

In 1952, Sears Roebuck asked t
he Frank A. Edmunds Co.
to develop a rug frame to be sold in their mail-order catalogs and stores. My Mother bought this in 1970 and it is still being made, the Edmunds Oval Hoop with Stand (#5590). It has a 31″ floor stand that holds a 16″ x 27″ hardwood hoop with wood block closure and a long 4″ tension bolt to keep your quilt taut and wrinkle-free. The hoop tilts to a comfortable, hands-free working position or can be easily detached from the floor frame for lap quilting.
This hoop is perfect for avid quilters saving strain on your back and offering a tool to aid you as you quilt or embroider. From top to bottom this quilting hoop provides sturdy support for all your quilting sessions. It holds your fabric in place and makes it easy to move the quilted fabric as you finish a section.
This hardwood hoop is crafted of beech and maple and it was made in America by Frank A. Edmunds Co
