Fabrics must be hooped before stitching out on the machine. Devices made from wood, plastic, or steel, hoops are used to tightly grip fabric and stabilizer between an inner and outer ring. Designed to hold fabric taut against the machine bed for embroidering, they attach to the machine’s frame. EmbroideryStudio allows you to select from a wide range of standard factory-supplied hoops. Define your own hoops using circle, oval, rectangle, and other shapes.
With the dedicated Hoop toolbar you can:
3Configure your own hoop list.
3Prompt EmbroideryStudio to automatically select a hoop from your own hoop list.
3Manually change hoops from a droplist.
3Show/hide the selected hoop in the design window.
3Position and rotate hoops.
3Create/edit/delete custom hoops.
3Enter/exit the Hooping Mode.
This section outlines some typical hooping scenarios. It covers setting start & end points as well as hoop selection and placement. It also deals with the creation of custom hoops. It also covers production techniques.
