I use these hoops without too much trouble. I have the inner hoop (with =
the
arms) wrapped with some gauzetape purchased at the local pharmacy. This
helps to hold the fabric and backing to keep from slipping on the long =
sides
(top and bottom of hoop). I am sure the hoops can be wrapped in bias =
tape
as well. I also use the hoopmaster with this hoop.
