Hooping Fabric
Owner's manual pg.___
• Find the center of the fabric
• Separate the embroidery hoop
- loosen the screw - it should be loose enough that fabric and stabilizer will easily fit into the hoop

- each hoop has a corresponding template
- when inserted correctly, "BERNINA" reads left to right, right side up
- template surface marked in 1cm squares
- each template has cut-outs to facilitate transfer of markings to fabric
- finger hole in corner for easy removal from hoop
• Secure fabric/stabilizer in the hoop
- lay outer hoop on hard, flat surface
- secure stabilizer to the back of the fabric by lightly coating stabilizer with 505 temporary adhesive spray
- place fabric and stabilizer on a firm surface
- position template inside the inner hoop
- position inner hoop on the fabric, aligning any markings on the fabric
