Hat Hoop Insert Preparation

1. Attach the hoop to the MB-7 / MB-4 hoop brackets. Select the desired design. Using the Edit
screen, rotate the design 90 degrees clockwise, so that the top of the design is to the right and
the bottom of the design is to the left.
Note: Only use designs that are designed for the M2 Hoop (4.9" X 4.3''). Selecting a design that
is too large for the MB-7 / MB-4 Hat Hoop opening will cause the embroidery feet to hit the hoop
and could cause damage to your MB-7 / MB-4embroidery machine.
2. Use the Tracing function and the placement arrows to verify that the design will stitch within the
open area of the hoop.
3. After verifying that the entire embroidery design will stitch within
the open area of the hat hoop, disconnect the hoop from the
machine.
4. Cut a 8.5" x 12" piece of adhesive stabilizer. Remove the paper
backing. Carefully attach the sticky side of the stabilizer to the back
of the hoop, beginning at one side. Gently pull the stabilizer across
the opening and press the edges of the stabilizer fi rmly to the
edges of the hoop. If the stabilizer is not pulled fl at and taut, pull
the edges and reset the stabilizer.
5. In order to reduce cost and time for several hats at a time, cut out a
square (approximately 2.7" X 2.7") from the embroidery area of the
stabilizer.
6. Using either 1" X 4" strips of adhesive stabilizer or adhesive tape,
place 4 strips around the square, sticky side up, to rein force the
square opening.
