What are some helpful tips for centering a
hoop for tubular embroidery?
1. Baste the fabric
to the stabilizer to keep the layers
together. Whether basting by hand or
machine, nothing works as well to keep the
fabric from shifting. Some embroidery
machines are capable of basting the fabric
to the stabilizer while in the hoop.
2. When embroidering items too small for a
hoop, first hoop the stabilizer, then attach
the fabric to the stabilizer. Use a stick-on
stabilizer, or adhere the fabric to the
stabilizer with temporary adhesive spray. To
ensure the fabric is perfectly aligned on
the stabilizer, with a ruler and a black
marker, draw a large, right-angled guide
cross on a piece of paper that's bigger than
your hoop. Place the paper under the hooped
stabilizer, matching the lines to the
centering marks on each side of the hoop.
The lines will be visible through the
stabilizer and will make it easy to
accurately position the fabric and center
your design on it.
3. If using a temporary adhesive spray after
hooping, make a shield to protect the hoop.
Cut a window about 1/2 in. smaller all
around than your hoop size in the center of
a rectangle of paper, lightweight cardboard,
or plastic that's at least twice the size of
the hoop. Hold the window firmly in place to
expose the fabric while you spray.
4. Use a double-stick tape to keep the
top hoop and fabric together during hooping. I use
1/4-in., double-sided, transparent Collins Wonder Tape
(available from Nancy's Notions, 800-833-0690,
www.nancysnotions.com) on the under side of my top
hoop so that after I've positioned the top hoop
accurately over the fabric, I can easily lift everything
into the bottom hoop without the fabric shifting. The
tape holds the fabric just enough to keep it from
slipping around while I'm trying to hoop it. After
several uses, Wonder Tape can be rinsed off easily when
it's no long sticky.
5. Insert the hoop edge nearest the hoop's tightening
screw last. This makes it easier to get the top hoop in
place and easier to loosen the hoop if necessary. Also,
position the corner or edge with the screw off the edge
of the table so you can adjust the screw without raising
the hoop away from the work surface.
