Learn how the heck double hoop embroidery works while making a simple and adorable felt donut! We'll start by setting up our double hoop with your choice of felt, then stitch simple designs on our donut with back or seed stiches. We'll then finish our hoops by adding a backing and gluing down the edges, and you'll have a completed project ready to hang. Explore the process of a full embroidery project before tackling something more complicated on your own!
