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 66.) For precautions concerning the fabric,
refer to page 16.
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.
