6 Securely tighten the screw, and then check
that the fabric is taut.

frames so that the bottom of the inner

The amount that the fabric is stretched and the use
of stabilizer material differ depending on the type
of fabric being embroidered. Try various methods
to achieve the best embroidering results. (Refer to
"Hooping techniques" on page 222.)
