Tutorial (Advanced)
Keeping the reference lines on the embroidery
sheet aligned with the reference lines for the
first pattern section, place the fabric and inner
ring of the embroidery hoop into the outer ring
of the hoop, and then pull the fabric so that it
is tight.
Finish hooping the fabric, and then remove the
embroidery sheet.
Step 7 Embroidering
Now, we are ready to embroider the design.
When large-size embroidery design are
transferred to the embroidery machine, the
patterns appear on the embroidery machine
display as shown below. For this example,
select the first embroidery pattern section
(Aa).
Attach the embroidery hoop to the embroidery
machine, and then using the machine’s layout
adjusting functions, align the needle position
with the intersection of the lines drawn on the
fabric.
Embroider the selected pattern.
Remove the embroidery hoop from the
embroidery machine, and then remove the
fabric from the hoop.
Hoop the fabric for the next design section.

Note:
• Place the fabric and hoop on a level
surface, and then make sure that the inner
ring is pressed in well enough that the top
edge of the inner ring aligns with the top
edge of the outer ring.
• If the embroidery sheet is not used, the
marks on the embroidery hoop can be
used to hoop the fabric vertically and
horizontally.
However, since the center point on some
embroidery machines is off center, the
embroidery sheet should be used for best
results.
• Another way to hoop the fabric is to use
sticky stabilizer that can be hooped
separately, tear away the protective
paper, then carefully align the fabric onto
the sticky surface using the embroidery
sheet as a guide.
• Tip: The fabric can be hooped more easily
if double-sided tape is affixed to the back
of the inner ring, which is placed on top of
the fabric, and then the fabric is clamped
between the inner ring and the outer ring.
