Hooping the Fabric in the
Embroidery Frame
CAUTION
• Use fabrics with a thickness of less than 2 mm
(approx. 1/16 inch). Using fabrics thicker than 2 mm
(approx. 1/16 inch) may cause the needle to break
and cause injury.
• Always use a stabilizer material for embroidery when
embroidering stretch fabrics, lightweight fabrics,
fabrics with a coarse weave, or fabrics which cause
pattern shrinkage. Otherwise, the needle may break
and cause injury.
• When using fabrics that cannot be ironed
(such as terry cloth or fabrics that have loops
which expand when ironed) or in places where
ironing is difficult, position the stabilizer
material under the fabric without fusing it, then
position the fabric and stabilizer in the
embroidery frame.
