Setting Up - Hooping Fabric and Stabilizer

The quick release device
changing the same type (thickness) of
fabric easily and quickly.
Use the screw when adjusting for new
fabrics.
Hooping Tip - Temporary Adhesive Spray:
For easier hooping of the layers, adhere the stabilizer to the fabric using a temporary spray adhesive.
• Great for basting or holding layers of fabric and/or batting together.
• Can be used as a repositionable spray, allowing items to stay sticky but be repositioned on other surfaces.
• Works well for securing "hard-to-hoop" items such as collars and cuffs to hooped stabilizer for embroidering.
Note: For best results, spray the stabilizer not the fabric.

HOOP FABRIC AND STABILIZER
1. To complete the workbook exercises, hoop fabric and stabilizer
together. Find the center of a 10" x 14" piece of fabric; mark the cen-

ring of the hoop. NOTE: When a new type of fabric is used, the pres-
sure must be adjusted by turning the screw.
3. Remove the inner ring.

5. Secure stabilizer to the back of the fabric by lightly spraying stabilizer
with temporary adhesive spray. (See Hooping Tip below.)
6. Place fabric and stabilizer on a flat surface.
7.
Position inner ring of the hoop over fabric/stabilizer, aligning horizon-
tal and vertical center lines of the hoop with those marked on the
fabric.
8. Grasping both inner hoop ring and fabric/stabilizer, lift and insert
them into the outer ring of the hoop, making sure that the arrows at
the bottom edges of the inner and outer rings line up with each other.
9. Close the quick release device (2). If using a new type of fabric,
tighten the screw instead.
• Hooped fabric should be taut, but not stretched or distorted.

The inner ring should protrude about 2 mm on the underside; this pre-
vents the hoop from rubbing against the stitch plate.
