About Strawberry Thief

Strawberry Thief is one of William Morris's most popular repeating designs and is synonymous with the Arts and Crafts movement. The design was first printed by Morris in 1883 and was inspired by the Thrushes boldly stealing fruit from his kitchen garden.

Do I need a 'Wooden Back and Glue?'

I designed my innovative hoop backs to solve a problem. Select the 'With Back' option for a fast and fuss-free way to finish off the back of your project

Once you have finished attaching my backs to your hoop, it will not only look neat and cover all your unsightly threads, it will also make your work feel more protected and lay beautifully flat on the wall when it comes time to hang.

My Hoop Backs are designed to be permanently attached. If you select the 'with Glue' option, you will be sent a Guerman textile glue. Use this to secure your project to the hoop and /or the wooden back. You can glue my backs on with any craft glue, but I like using Gutermann Textile Glue. This glue dries nice and slowly, giving you plenty of time to secure your fabric to the hoop and position the back before the glue sets.

A tutorial will be sent with your order or follow this link ot see how my Hoop Backs work.

Which size embroidery hoop should I choose?

My hoops are available from a mini 3-inch hoop right up to a large 12-inch embroidery hoop. Simply select the hoop size appropriate to the size of your project and the fabric you are stitching on. Hoops are measured across the diameter of the embroidery hoop, from the inner edge of the outer hoop. When framing embroidery wall art, I like to leave around an inch between my stitching and the hoop.

Framing embroidery hoop wall art?

Embroidery hoops are a fantastically easy way to create your own wall art. Simply secure your work or decorative fabric of your choice within the hoop and hang it on the ribbon of your choice. All my hoops come with an easy-to-follow framing tutorial.

Why is Tana Lawn so special?

'The Liberty Fabrics department is a true design institution. World-renowned for its historic 50,000-strong print archive, and for our in-house studio where new artworks are painted and drawn by hand, the Liberty Fabrics offering reflects our storied heritage and century-spanning passion for art and design. From ornate Art Nouveau layouts and classic 1930s ditsy florals to bold geometrics, landscapes and offbeat conversationals, our fabrics offer a colourful canvas for bespoke creations of all kinds.

Liberty’s fabric collection was launched in the 1920s, named after the area in Africa where it was manufactured.

Tana Lawn cotton is so fine that behaves like silk – ultra-fine, with a fluid hand-feel and intense depth of colour that is truly unmatchable.
