7. Hooping the Fabric in the Embroidery Frame
After selecting the pattern to be embroidered, check which embroidery frames can be used to sew the
pattern. Select the appropriate frame, and hoop the fabric and stabilizer in the embroidery frame.
(Refer to “Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric” on page 90.) For precautions concerning the
fabric, refer to page 34.
Note
● If the fabric is not taut, the pattern may be
misaligned or the fabric may pucker.
Follow the procedure described below to
firmly stretch the fabric in the embroidery
frame so that the fabric is not loose. In
addition, be sure to work on a level
surface when putting the fabric in the
embroidery frame.
