I learnt Coggeshall lace (same as Lier) from Joan Merrifield in
England. I don't think you can use an embroidery hoop. The net is so
thin that a hoop wouldn't hold it taut enough. We used a scroll type
embroidery frame and laced the vertical edges of the net to the side
bars of the frame.
I use an ordinary round embroidery frame, with a bound inner hoop, for
Coggeshall and haven't had any trouble with the net slipping. Use a
screwdriver to
tighten the screw. It's obvious once it's been pointed out, and all but the
cheapest frames have a screwdriver slot cut in the turney

Hi, Miriam!
Nobody in the Harrisburg class used an embroidery hoop. I think that's
how they work tambour on solid fabric. We used a square frame to
keep the tulle straight. We even basted 3 lines down the tulle (center
and two sides) to have reference for getting it straight on the frame.
I was told by my local dealer that Viking was the name given by the
Husqvarna company to sewing machines sold in the UK and some other countries
which they thought couldn't pronounce Husqvarna. They're now know almost
universally as Husqvarna.
