■ 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 large
embroidery frame and the extra-large embroidery
frame, refer to “Hooping the Fabric” on page 67.

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.
4
Press the inner frame into the outer frame.
• Be sure that there are no wrinkles in the fabric
after it is stretched 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
that the fabric is taut.
• After stretching 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 166.)
Memo
● This embroidery machine can also be used
with the optional cap frames. (Refer to
