Hoop Therapy - a Machine Embroidery Retreat



Take a break from the everyday and give yourself the creative reset you deserve at Hoop Therapy, a fun and relaxing machine embroidery retreat. This sleep-at-home retreat gives you the best of both worlds—dedicated stitching time during the day and the comfort of your own bed at night.

Bring the machine embroidery project of your choice and enjoy uninterrupted time to stitch, learn, and make progress. Whether you have a project that’s been sitting unfinished, a design you’ve been wanting to start, or a larger embroidery project that feels a little intimidating, this retreat is the perfect place to tackle it.

You’ll have access to guidance, encouragement, and a supportive group of fellow embroiderers. Get help troubleshooting tricky steps, learn helpful techniques, and build confidence with your machine while making meaningful progress on your project.

And because every good retreat should be playful and rewarding, we’ll have snacks, games, prizes, and special surprises to keep the energy high and the laughter going. Plus, enjoy an exclusive shopping discount at Prickly Pearadise Quilts to pick up fabrics, threads, or tools you’ve been eyeing.

Hoop Therapy is all about:

  • Dedicated embroidery time without everyday distractions

  • Finishing projects that have been waiting for attention

  • Tackling larger or more complex embroidery projects

  • Learning helpful tips and techniques along the way

  • Enjoying the creativity, camaraderie, and laughter of stitching with friends

  • Fun with games, prizes, snacks, and surprises

  • A special shopping discount to treat yourself

Come relax, stitch, laugh, and recharge—because sometimes the best therapy is time with your embroidery machine and a hoop full of possibilities. ?????

Be sure to bring  your sewing machine, and don't forget the manual, power cord and foot pedal. 

You are welcome to bring your lunch.
