Embroidery Hoops
TIPS OF THE TRADE
A few tidbits of information to help with your embroidery projects
| TIP 1 | Choose the smallest possible Hoop or Frame to accommodate the design. This creates even tension and keeps the design properly registered. |
| TIP 2 | Leave 1/2 inch clearance around the design for the presser foot. |
| TIP 3 | For the best uniform grip and tight registration of material, use a round hoop whenever possible. |
| TIP 4 | Adjust the outer hoop correctly before pressing in the inner hoop. If the outer hoop is loose or tight, remove the inner hoop and start over. Try not to adjust the outer hoop once the inner hoop is inserted. |
| TIP 5 | Double-height hoops provide more gripping surface for thicker or slippery fabrics. |
| TIP 6 | Fabric tension in the hoop should be taut. Run your finger across the fabric to check for slack or loose tension. |
| TIP 7 | Be sure to take advantage of all the easy to use features and time-saving benefits of your hoops. |
