EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL
■ Hooping fabric in the small embroidery frame
The procedure for hooping fabric in the small
embroidery frame is described below.
The same procedure is used to hoop the fabric in
the medium embroidery frame.
For details on hooping fabric in the other
included embroidery frames, refer to "Hooping
the Fabric" on page 94.
2 Loosen the screw on the outer frame.
1 Screw
3 Place the fabric with the right side up on top
of the outer frame.
• The outer frame does not have a front or
back side. Either side can be used as the
front.
• In order to prevent shrinkage of the stitching
or misaligned patterns, we recommend that
iron-on stabilizer (backing) be used for
embroidering. (Refer to "Attaching Iron-On
Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric" on page 93.
4 Press the inner frame into the outer frame.
• Be sure that there are no wrinkles in the
fabric after it is positioned in the embroidery
frame.
5 Lightly tighten the screw, and then pull the
edges of the fabric.

6 Securely tighten the screw, and then check
to make sure that the fabric is taut.
• After securing the fabric, lightly tapping it
should produce a drum-like sound.
• Firmly clamp together the inner and outer
frames so that the bottom of the inner
frame is lower than the bottom of the outer
frame.

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 249.)
