How To Back An Embroidery Hoop

"I used to struggle to get a neat finish on the back of embroidery hoops. Then I discovered this method that uses felt. It's really easy and gives a lovely neat result. Other methods do exist but I've not used anything else for years now. I love how tidy it makes to hoop look and it's all stitched, no glueing which could discolour the fabric in years to come so it's a permanent solution too. "
