Here is another view:

the legs look like they can be taken off, but even so, it looks too
thin to have a comfortable hold.

Any thoughts?

Could it be meant for punch needle?

I can't imagine using this type of hoop for much embroidery. At 1-3/4"
high, you can't comfortably get your hand underneath, I wouldn't think.
Even for punch embroidery or tambour work.

It looks as if it is made more for tambour work and needle punch.
Especially with it having legs on.

This thing or maybe it's predecessor was mentioned by the teacher at a
punchneedle class I took. She mentioned that the velco strips came off and she
had to glue them back on. Despite this, I got one and was so not impressed that
I returned it.
