Large/small pieces of fabric This section provides information on embroidering fabric that is either much larger or much smaller than the embroidery frame. ■ Embroidering large pieces of fabric or heavy clothing When embroidering large pieces of fabric or heavy pieces of clothing, use a clothespin or binder clip to fasten the excess fabric to the embroidery frame so that it does not hang down from the frame. Embroidering with excess fabric hanging down from the embroidery frame may prevent the frame from moving properly and may result in a misaligned pattern. OTHER BASIC PROCEDURES ■ Embroidering the corner of fabric When embroidering the corner of a piece of fabric, use spray fabric adhesive to attach the corner of the fabric to stabilizer (backing), and then hoop the stabilizer (backing) in the embroidery frame. With fabrics where you do not wish to use spray adhesive, baste the fabric to the stabilizer (backing). 3 • Use a clothespin or binder clip to fasten the excess fabric to the embroidery frame. ■ Embroidering small pieces of fabric When embroidering pieces of fabric that are smaller than the embroidery frame, use spray fabric adhesive to attach the fabric to stabilizer (backing) hooped in the embroidery frame.
