If you thought that the DIME
hoop mat was the best thing since machine embroidery was invented, you will
be pleased to learn a couple of other uses.

The silicone mat keeps embroidery hoops from sliding around
while you hoop fabric and stabilizer.
It seems simple, but has so much value. The more that I use this mat, the more it helps me with
items other than hooping.

With grid marks on the mat, it is easy to line up the center
marks on the hoop,

and draw the centering lines with a ruler. It is so much
easier, and much more accurate than laying a long ruler across the hoop and trying to mark the
stabilizer center accurately.
Another time that this mat becomes quite useful is when
using SewTites
during in-the-hoop embroidery.
