H Test A thread tension test in which one 1" block letter h is sewn for each
needle bar. The reverse side of the completed embroidery should
show a ratio of two-thirds top thread to one-third bobbin thread.
Handles Handles are the small boxes at each corner of the selection box you
see around active segments. If you point to a handle, the pointer
becomes a double-sided arrow. You can click and drag the handle to
resize the selected segment or segments proportionally. Clicking and
dragging the control points on the left and right side of a handle will
resize the segment by width. Clicking and dragging the control points
on the top and bottom sides of a handle will resize the segment by
height.
Holding Fixtures Devices used to hold or frame small or unusually shaped items, such
as socks and gloves. Commonly used for delicate goods, rigid
goods, gang loading applications, or to speed up the framing
process to achieve production efficiency.
Hook Holds the bobbin case in the machine and plays a vital role in stitch
formation. Making two complete rotations for each stitch, its point
meets a loop of top thread at a precisely timed moment and distance
(gap) to form a stitch.
Hoop Device made from wood, plastic or steel with which fabric is gripped
tightly between an inner ring and an outer ring. It attaches to the
machine's pantograph. Machine hoops are designed to push the
fabric to the bottom of the inner ring and hold it against the machine
bed for embroidering.
Hoop Mark The temporary marks that remain on the fabric after the embroidery
hoop has been removed. Also referred to as a Hoop Ring. Such
marks can typically be removed using steam or Magic Sizing spray.
