That frame is not a hoop, so it doesn't have anything to hold material on the back. What I have done is use the frame as a template and cut out a piece of material, either xstitch fabric or a decorative material in colors complementing the project, and then glue it to the back of the frame's edge. It hides the stitching and gives it more of a finished look. A regular pencil can be used to draw around the frame and make the guide for cutting the backing fabric. Let us know if this works for you. Karen
