Hooping the Fabric
Attaching and Removing the Hoop
1. Slide the hoop connector into the hoop attach-
ment (A) from front to back until it clicks into
place.
2. To remove the hoop from the embroidery arm,
press the grey button (B) on the hoop attachment
and slide the hoop towards you.
For the best embroidery results, place a layer of
stabilizer beneath the fabric. When hooping stabi-
lizer and fabric make sure that they are smooth and
securely hooped.
1. Loosen the screw (A) on the larger outer hoop.
Remove the inner hoop. Place the outer hoop on
a rm at surface with the screw on the lower
right. There is a small arrow in the center of the
lower edge of the hoop (B) which will line up
with a small arrow on the inner hoop.
2. Place the stabilizer and fabric, with the right
sides facing up, on top of the outer hoop. Place
the inner hoop on top of the fabric with the small
arrow at the bottom edge. If you can see the hoop
size in the lower part of the inner hoop, you have
attached it correctly.
3. Push the inner hoop rmly into the outer hoop.
4. Tighten the hoop screw (A). The fabric should be
taut in the hoop for the best results.
Note: Be sure to loosen the hoop screw enough for the
fabric and stabilizer thickness so you can easily push
the inner hoop in place. Push in on the sides of the inner
hoop to be sure both hoops are even.
