This thread is located at http://www.amayausers.com/discussion/showthread.php?5816-Hoops-Quality-and-condition Here is the message that has just been posted: *************** Hello Joanie: I hoped that this tip may help you a bit, this is what I did with all my hoops and it also helps from slipping while working with the hoops and you don't need to tighten them so much. I took one inch strips of fabric and just wrapped the hoops and at the end I just glued the fabric to itself. Do this to both inside and outside hoop.
