Hi, I’m Diane 👋
Welcome to Beyond the Hoop Studio — your home for premium machine embroidery designs, digital downloads, and education for makers who want more than “stick a design and hope for the best.”
I’m a professional digitizer and machine embroidery educator with a passion for helping embroiderers of all levels stitch with confidence. Whether you’re just starting out or leveling up your skills, this is your space.
I believe machine embroidery should feel:
✨ creative ✨ understandable ✨ joyful ✨ and full of possibility
Even when things go wrong — we turn them into learning moments (I like to call them happy accidents 😄).
You’ll find exclusive designs here, including the beloved Wrapped in Thread™ Quilty collection, plus tips, tutorials, and a community that celebrates every stitch.
