OOPING A TUBULAR HOOP
Tubular hoops are the most common type of hoops used in commercial embroidery machines.
They are very easy to hoop compared to the alternatives and are ideal for embroidery on assembled
goods such as shirts, etc.
Embroidery on unassembled goods
(raw fabric) is typically best done
with other types of hoop systems
but most all embroidery done
commercially will be on assembled
garments. There are many guides
available on the internet and in
other embroidery training manuals
that explain the best way to hoop
certain items depending on sizes,
sex, type, etc. of the garments. This
manual will not get into the
techniques and it is recommended
that the operator search on the
internet for further training. However, when using a tubular hoop as shown the outer ring (piece
without the metal tabs) goes inside or under the garment. For example, on a t-shirt the outer ring will
go inside the shirt around the area that is to be embroidered.
Backing or Stabilizer is then place on top
of the outer right in between the garment. The top part of the hoop is then place on top of the
garment, inside the outer ring. The top part of the hoop includes the beveled tabs. The beveled part of
the tab will always be on top. The garment should be hooped so that the final embroidery imaged is
parallel with the beveled tabs.
