Description

The present invention relates to a hoop holder used to fix a hoop used for quilting work of a quilt and patchwork quilt to a table or the like that supports the hoop so that an operator can hold it in a substantially horizontal and stable state.

The quilt is composed of three layers: a front cloth, a core, and a back cloth. The three layers are sewn together with a large needle width using a basting thread. Basting yarn is easy to cut because it is removed after quilting is completed. Quilts vary in size, some of which are larger than 2 meters in length and width. The higher the weight, the heavier.

During quilting work where the entire quilt is stabbed in a pattern style, the quilt can be easily stabbed and beautifully finished by holding it in a flat tension state. Therefore, a hoop is often used during quilting work. The hoop is a wooden annular frame having a diameter of 30 to 40 cm, and includes an inner hoop and an outer hoop. The outer hoop has a cut in part of the circumference and a thumbscrew, and the diameter can be adjusted by tightening the screw. To put the quilt, place the quilt on the inner hoop at the position where you want to quilt, place the outer hoop over the quilt, sandwich the quilt between the inner hoop and the outer hoop, and adjust the thickness of the quilt. Adjust the diameter of the outer hoop with a screw to keep the quilt flat in tension.

If the quilt held in a flat tension state by the hoop is held substantially horizontally on the front surface of the operator, the quilting work is easy. For this reason, for example, when an operator sits on a chair and works in front of the table, the front of the hoop is supported by the abdomen, the opposite side is pressed against the edge of the table, and the hoop is sandwiched between the abdomen and the edge of the table. Hold the hoop horizontally and quilt. As the quilting work progresses, the hoop is turned to change the quilting position.

Holding the hoop between the worker's abdomen and the edge of the table or the like and holding it substantially horizontally means that the hoop is a wooden annular frame, the edge of the table or the like is straight in the longitudinal direction and the width direction, and In the quilting work, unstable factors such as turning the hoop and changing the position as the work progresses are overlapped, and the hoop often slips off the edge of the table etc., and the hoop is stabilized almost horizontally. It takes skill to hold it.

This invention pays attention to the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a hoop holder that holds the hoop in a substantially horizontal and stable state during a quilting operation. In addition, there exists patent application publication number 2005-15952 as an idea which supports a hoop similarly.
