embroidery hoop
Circular fabric stretcher
An embroidery hoop is a circular frame, usually two nested rings, used to hold fabric taut while stitching.
The outer ring tightens around the inner one, stretching the fabric flat to prevent puckering during needlework: She clamped the linen into the embroidery hoop before starting the design.
