Choosing the Appropriate Hoop for the Job
Hooping a garment properly and selecting the right hoop for the job is
essential to quality embroidery production. The hoop provides the means
to move the product at high speeds and accurately place the stitch. If the
hoop is too loose, the wrong size, or if the product is hooped poorly, it can
adversely affect the design.
Choosing the Appropriate Hoop Shape
Each hoop shape has benets and drawbacks.
Hoop Shape Benet Drawback
Traditional Round Even tension across
the fabric. Great hoop
for most left-chest
designs.
Limited number of siz-
es. Larger hoops must
be used for square-
shaped designs.
Traditional Square Larger sew elds. Tension is tighter in the
corners and looser on
the edges.
Specialty (clamps and
other frames)
Tend to be easier to
hoop quickly. Better
for difcult to hoop
materials and/or
placements.
Does not hold the ma-
terial as securely as a
traditional style hoop.
