3. Embroidery Hoops
Loading Garments
Do not load garments or fabrics while the hoop is attached to the EP 1. Doing so may damage
the machine. Hooping is best accomplished on a clean, sturdy table.
Round Hoops
1. Place the outer frame on a flat surface with the label on the mounting plate facing up.
2. Lay the garment over the outer frame of the hoop and center the work area.
3. Put the inner frame over the garment and press downward, capturing the garment between
the two hoops.
4. Pull the edges of the garment outward to stretch it tautly.
NOTE: Many fabrics will stretch unevenly and cause distorted embroidery if care is not used dur-
ing hooping.
5. Tighten the adjusting screw to secure the outer frame. This will not tighten the garment, only
the frame itself.
You may need to load some garments several times until you get it “just right.”
Rectangular Hoops
When stitching large embroidery designs (maximum of 5.5" x 9.4"), use the rectangular embroi-
dery hoop (available from Accessory Resource Corporation).
Put a fabric on the embroidery hoop after placing the embroidery hoop on a table or a flat sur-
face. Fix the four sides by inserting the fabric holders from the top. To hoop the fabric correctly,
check the fabric position after mounting the right-hand fabric holder. When mounting the left-
hand fabric holder, press the fabric with the palm before mounting, and the fabric should not
stretch excessively.
