Let me show you many ways to hoop a sweatshirt or sweater for your embroidery machine. Positioning designs on sweatshirts and stitching them can be tricky.
We'll tuck the fabric when hooping on a single needle embroidery machine, and also show how hooping is different for a multi-needle machine.
You will also see how floating or magnetic hoops make hooping easier, and I'll show you my tape tips & tricks to position designs on your sweatshirt, sweater or jumper.
