HOOPING THE FABRIC
For the best embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer
beneath the fabric. When hooping stabilizer and fabric
make sure that they are smooth and securely hooped.
1. Loosen the screw(s) (1) on the outer hoop (2). Remove
the inner hoop (3). Place the outer hoop on a firm
flat surface. There are center markings on the outer
and inner hoops. Those markings should line up once
hooped.
2. Place stabilizer and fabric, with the right sides facing
up, on top of the outer hoop. Place the inner hoop on
top of the fabric.
3. Push the inner hoop firmly into the outer hoop.
4. Tighten the screw(s). The fabric should be taut in the
hoop for the best results.
