Hooping the fabric F For better embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer beneath the fabric and hoop both the stabilizer and the fabric. The fabric and stabilizer must sit smooth and be securely hooped. Any distortion or slackness in the fabric will impair the finished quality of the embroidery. This may, for instance, take the form of areas of color that overlap, contour lines that do not meet up, creases within the embroidery, or areas left unembroidered. The fabric is hooped as follows: 1. Loosen the retaining screw (E); the inner hoop can now be E removed. 2. Lay the outer hoop in front of you on a stable flat surface with the guide pins (F) pointing to the right, for fitting to the embroidery unit. The retaining screw is now pointing towards you. 3. Place the stabilizer and then the fabric over the outer hoop, with the right side facing upwards. Ensure that the fabric is draped over the edge of the hoop. 4. With the inner hoop, press the fabric into the outer hoop. Tighten the retaining screw slightly and tighten the fabric and stabilizer in the hoop by pulling the overhanging fabric. Be sure not to cause any creases in the face fabric or stabilizer. The hoops must be parallel to each other. 5. Tighten the retaining screw securely. 6. Attach the clips. Note: If you lightly tap the hooped fabric with a finger, the finger should spring back. Embroidery 5:15

Hooping the fabric
For better embroidery results, place a layer of stabilizer beneath the
fabric and hoop both the stabilizer and the fabric.
The fabric and stabilizer must sit smooth and be securely hooped. Any
distortion or slackness in the fabric will impair the
fi
nished quality of
the embroidery. This may, for instance, take the form of areas of color
that overlap, contour lines that do not meet up, creases within the
embroidery, or areas left unembroidered.
The fabric is hooped as follows:
1.
Loosen the retaining screw (E); the inner hoop can now be
removed.
2.
Lay the outer hoop in front of you on a stable
fl
at surface with the
guide pins (F) pointing to the right, for
fi
tting to the embroidery
unit. The retaining screw is now pointing towards you.
3.
Place the stabilizer and then the fabric over the outer hoop, with the
right side facing upwards. Ensure that the fabric is draped over the
edge of the hoop.
4.
With the inner hoop, press the fabric into the outer hoop. Tighten
the retaining screw
slightly and tighten the fabric and stabilizer in
the hoop by pulling the overhanging fabric. Be sure not to cause
any creases in the face fabric or stabilizer. The hoops must be
parallel to each other.
5.
Tighten the retaining screw securely.
6.
Attach the clips.
Note: If you lightly tap the hooped fabric with a
fi
nger, the
fi
nger should spring back.
