Abstract
An embroidery hoop comprises an inner ring and a split outer ring circumscribing the inner ring. The outer ring is adjustable in diameter relative to the inner ring to bring the inside surface of the outer ring into abutment with the outside surface of the innner ring. A ridge and a mating groove provided on the abutting surfaces prevent lateral displacement of the rings and thereby enable the fabric to be stretched across either side of the hoop and to be embroidered on either surface. The ridge and groove also urge the rings together as the fabric is pulled taut within the hoop, increasing the bite of the hoop upon the fabric. Legs may be affixed to one of the rings for supporting the hoop on a supporting surface during embroidery.
