I thought really thick towels were the hardest thing to hoop................Nope. It's down filled puffy vests. Another Christmas gift done.

Sorry about the quality, shooting backward in the bathroom mirror.
This is an 8 inch monogram.

It looks great. I am doing winter coats for a towing company, and they also are very hard to hoop. It just take patience. Hugs Lynn

The reason that I hooped this is so that the hoop would help press down the puffiness and I wouldn't have as many wrinkles since this is a gift. I pinned it down on my test stitch (my vest) and it was a bit of a mess and I had pinned it very close with pins touching.

But hooping all these thick items is stretching out your hoop.
Viking makes a hoop with a separate inner hoop especially for this, actually made for quilting sandwiches. Hugs. Nan W

Excellent work! You always try the most difficult things and they come out beautifully! You inspire me to stitch...but not a vest. I am not as brave as you are. ;)

Excellent work and brave to try it on this puffy vest! Took me a while to realise the obvious, that the letter is of course a mirror image. Had a look at the font - it's lovely and the largest size is really LARGE.

No only would hooping this be difficult, but getting it centered in the hoop would be my nightmare too., let alone getting it under the needle. Well done! You are one brave soul!
