Hooping
Make sure fabric, threads and stabilizer are compatible for laundering.
1. Place stabilizer on the wrong side of the fabric in the area to be
embroidered.
2. Loosen the adjusting screw on the outer hoop, place the stabilizer
(must be larger than the hoop) and fabric on top of the outer hoop
with the right side of the fabric up. Always put stabilizer in the
hoop with the fabric. Stabilizer must be larger that the hoop to
adequately stabilize the fabric.
3. Place the inner hoop into the outer hoop to clamp the fabric and
stabilizer. Fabric and stabilizer should be smooth in the hoop, but
do not stretch or distort it. Smooth the fabric but do not stretch it.
Push the inner hoop into the outer hoop. Clamp securely so that
the edges of the outer hoop and inner hoop are even.
4. Firmly tighten the adjusting screw.
NOTE: Stabilizer provides body and control to fabric and aids in ensuring that stitches go
where they should go. Stabilizers can be bonded fabric, liquid, or water soluble and can be
sewn on, applied with spray adhesive or ironed on. Di erent blends of fabric react di erently
when water or heat is applied or when tearing or cutting stabilizer away from your nished
design. Always have an assortment of stabilizer on hand to match with various fabrics.
Always stitch a test design on actual fabric and stabilizer. Remove stabilizer gently and
carefully to avoid distorting your design.
