About JENNOOP® Embroidery Hoop stand
| The idea for the Jennoop®
Collapsible Hoop stand came about in 1998 when I called catalog companies
and retail stores specializing in cross-stitch or counted
cross-stitch, needlepoint or hand embroidery, asking
if they had a sewing hoop stand that sat on my lap leaving my hands free
from holding the hoop. They all said what a great idea, but
unfortunately they had no embroidery equipment or embroidery
accessories like that. At that moment my plans for the embroidery hoop stand started to take shape in my mind. I wanted it to have an appropriate angle enabling the user to perform needlepoint work more efficiently. I also wanted the embroidery equipment to be lightweight and portable so it could go anywhere when I traveled. This meant it needed to be collapsible. We hired a Patent Agent to do a patent search to verify there was not a similar cross-stitch / hand embroidery product out there patented already. Then the process was started to request a patent from the US Patent Office. The patent was granted in October of 2000. I was thrilled! Now everyone could have a hoop stand. We tried selling the idea of this standing embroidery frame to companies and thought we'd be millionaires in no time, the American Dream. We thought it would be a great new product on the market, perfect for cross-stitch, hand embroidery, needlepoint kits and for those beginning hand embroidery. Unfortunately, we had no takers, and so we chose to make the hoop stand ourselves. Now we had the task of finding an engineer to make the injection mold and a company to make the hoop stand. After a couple of prototypes were made, this sewing hoop stand sat before me waiting to be used. I had the vision and there it was before my eyes. A dream come true. It was everything I wanted in a hoop stand, and everything I needed for counted cross-stitch and hand embroidery. |
Now we needed a name for our invention. I'd been called Jennoop by my Uncle Bill all of my life and took one look at
the hoop stand and said Jennoop® Collapsible Hoop without
even thinking. We trademarked the name and started
manufacturing the Jennoop®.
The Jennoop® Collapsible Hoop stand is manufactured in the United States. I have been told by retail craft stores, if we make embroidery equipment overseas and got the cost down, they would carry the Jennoop® Collapsible stand in their stores, making more of a profit from their overhead costs and for themselves. We have chosen not to make the Jennoop® overseas so as not to take jobs away from the American Workforce. Instead, the Jennoop® Collapsible Hoop stand is selling in cross-stitch, hand embroidery and needlepoint catalogs. |
