Loading a Hoop onto the Machine
1. Install a hoop by sliding the side brackets of the hoop underneath
the spring clips on the support arms. Make sure that the slotted
bracket is to the right as you are facing the machine.
2. Slide the hoop towards the rear of the machine until it snaps into
place and the brackets are fully seated beneath the spring clips.
3. Pull back gently on the hoop arms to ensure the spring clips are
engaged.
4. Run your ngers around the edges of the hoop to ensure that
sleeves, collars, zippers or other garment parts are not inadvertent-
ly under the hoop. Balloon the garment out around the cylindrical
lower arm. This will prevent other garment parts from becoming
sewn into the underneath side of the embroidery.
