HOOPING A HOODIE OR JACKET
Like all other garments, hooping a hoodie or jacket requires
finding the proper placement of the design. A good starting
point is about 8 inches below the center shoulder seam.
However, the placement of the design will vary based on the
size of the design and the size of the garment.
1. Unzip the zipper and the place the bottom ring inside
the jacket as shown in Figure 54.
2. Position the stabilizer over the bottom ring, making sure
it completely covers all sides of the hoop. See Figure
55.
3. Place the top ring over the front of the garment, and
align it with the bottom hoop. Push down on the hoop
to insert the top ring into the bottom ring.
4. After inserting the top ring into the bottom ring, verify
you’ve hooped the fabric correctly. Make sure the
fabric is smooth and tight, but not stretched. Try to lift
the fabric from the stabilizer. If it’s difficult to lift, your
fabric should be hooped correctly.
5. Once hooped, the stabilizer should cover all areas of the
hoop. If it does not, re-hoop the garment. See Figure 56.
