Hmm, I know I would use a new hoop more often than new wheels. I hope you get your wish.

Does he want you happy in the house, or out of the house?

Well, my DH always says "If you're not happy, nobody is happy." I say you must get the new magnetic hoop...as when the wheels fall off your bicycle, you will HAVE to get new wheels....

New Hoop by all means.

My opinion is - you would without a doubt use new frames more than new wheels. You could tell him, you have many friends who agree with you! Let us know!!

Tell him why not both. But if you have to choose go with the new hoop. Hugs

Now I know how you enjoy your rides, but I also know you want to get back into your embroidering....hard choice, so I’m no help. Get one now and the other for Christmas! It’s not far away

The whole key to this is you need to make him think it's his idea. Present the problem in a way, he is the only one who can solve it. Always choose whatever makes you happier. Something for sewing - no question. Maybe you "need" both. You could sigh and say something like, "I'll guess I just have to wait for Christmas, or Mother's Day. or

How about asking for a early Christmas present because hooping is so hard on your hands. You are willing to wait a bit longer for the wheels on your bicycle. Good luck 😊😊😊

Ah, that is a bit of a problem Caroline. Your safety comes first, so I would suggest that the wheels (his idea) come first and then your hoop for a Christmas present.

could you suggest a new hoop and just new tyres, the wheels being good enough for a lot more miles.
