Hooping Material on Tubular Hoop
• Take the 18cm hoop (included in the starter kit) and separate the two rings, placing the bottom ring on a at
surface with the tension screw towards you.
• Place a piece of fabric and a piece of heavy cut-away backing on top of the bottom ring; make sure the
material extends beyond the hoop and evenly all around.
• Take the tubular hoop top ring and put it on top of the material. The double notches on both sides of the
arms are towards you. With some force, press down into the bottom hoop. If the bottom ring is too tight,
loosen the tension adjustment screw with your ngers on the bottom hoop ring until you are able to push
the hoops together. There should be some force applied. The backing material inside the hoop should be
smooth and taut.
• Take the hooped material to the embroidery machine and slide the tubular hoop arms into the hoop holder.
It will snap in place at the snap points.
