you see around active segments. If you point to a handle, the
pointer becomes a double-sided arrow. You can click and drag
the handle to resize the selected segment or segments
proportionally. Clicking and dragging the control points on the
left and right side of a handle will resize the segment by width.
Clicking and dragging the control points on the top and bottom
sides of a handle will resize the segment by height.
Hoop
Device made from wood, plastic or steel with which fabric is
gripped tightly between an inner ring and an outer ring. It
