frame. Check that the rectangular area
(4) of the inner frame faces up, and then
re-insert the inner frame, making sure to
align the inner frame’s with the outer
frame’s , to clamp the fabric.
The top of the inner frame must be
tucked under the flanges at the top of the

• When embroidering small pieces of fabric that
cannot be hooped in an embroidery frame, use
stabilizer material as a base. After lightly
ironing the fabric to the stabilizer material,
hoop it in the embroidery frame. If stabilizer
material cannot be ironed onto the fabric,
attach it with a basting stitch. After completing
the embroidery, remove the stabilizer material
carefully.

• When embroidering on thin fabrics such as
organdy or lawn, or on napped fabrics such as
towel or corduroy, use water soluble stabilizer
(sold separately) for best results. In the case
of thick terry cloth towels we recommend that
you place a piece of water soluble stabilizer on
the top surface of the towel. This will help to
reduce the nap of the toweling and result in
more attractive embroidery.
