This morning I happened to say to my hubby that I thought if you really tightened what you're putting in the hoop, surely you run the risk of having your design wrinkle one you take it out of the hoop and it relaxes! Just watched your video and that's exactly what you said!!

Ah ha!! 😲I have been turbo-tensioning my hoops for years to fight side pulling. Now I know I was only making it worse! I just tried this and it worked perfectly -no burned edges, designs line up (registration), and it didn't pucker or pull once I took it out of the hoop. Makes hooping much easier and less stressful. I will surely do embroidery more often since I won't dread hooping so much. Excited! Have you tried pinning both fabric and stabilizer? Or is that unnecessary? Thank you very much!

If you were to make an amendments to this video - please show how the back of the hoop looks after pins are in place. I am afraid of scratching my bed. But i am sure that yours don’t - just seem like that could happen if you don’t do it right. Great video - i remember my mom calling the T pins - WIG pins! LOL my age is showing

@KaysCutz 5 жыл бұрын

Hi Sandi. The pins wont show from the back of the hoop as they sit on top of the top edge of it. They are pinned into the waste edge bit of the stabilizer that pokes up through the hoop to act as an anchor on the stabilizer so it cant pull down through the hoop pieces and loosen. They are nowhere near to your machine as they sit completely on the top of your hoop. I hope that helps

Hi Stacey, thanks for watching. What country are you in? In the video description I list what brands I use and where I bought it. Generally they are from Amazon as most people have access to it and each country has a wide range even if not the same brand. Just to explain, I give key words for my supplies and the place I bought them because viewers are worldwide and I dont have time to search and add 100's of links from around the world. Some things are not always available in certain countries but there is usually a substitute that will come up in a search. Masking tape - I use cheapest of the cheap no particular brand, whatever I can get my hands on at the time from my local hardware store. Some people use medical tape instead.

This is the answer. But the question to Brother should be why do you not design a hoop that does the job properly. They charge enough for a piece of plastic. It’s shameful that they have never fixed the problem.

@KaysCutz 3 жыл бұрын

It isn't just Brother it is all manufacturers and it is all to do with the shape of the hoop. Round hoops grip well all round however with consumer demand for larger and larger hoops, that are practical for making almost anything without costing an arm and a leg, manufacturers developed the square/rectangular hoops, the problem is that when you tighten these ones due to good old physics the tighter your do them up the less grip there is on the corners and with such long sides on the bigger and bigger hoops there is very little grip on the fabric so that is why we have to pin. Hoops are developing all the time and we have got magnetic ones coming on the market now which do alleviate some of the problem but they are not available in all sizes for all brands. One day maybe. Putting a few pins in is hardly a big deal though is it, and it is a cheap fix and a necessary one if you want consistently good embroidery results.

Is the pins going into the stabilizer and back down inside the hoop frame or using weaving inside of the stabilizer?

@KaysCutz 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Cindy, The pins go through the stabilizer from the front to the back and then you push them back through the stabilizer from the back to the front so that they sit on top of the hoop frame, they DONT go down inside the hoop frame.

When you say 5 x 7 hoop are you referring to the length and width of the inner hoop or referring to the max stitching area within the hoop. New to in the hoop work. Your video has been very helpful.

@KaysCutz 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Linda a confusing area of machine embroidery. It is the stitch field so the plastic grid that comes with your hoops shows the maximum area you can stitch. A 5x7 hoop is actually 130 x 180 mm so a design has to be a few millimeters under for the machine to stitch it. If you join Kreative Kiwis Facebook group. The link in is the video description I have written an article explaining all about hoops and stitch fields etc. that you can download If is in the files section called A guide to understanding embroidery machine hoop sizes. Happy stitching.

on the largest hoop for the Solaris Vision this method is not able to be done because of the angle of the inner hoop to the outer hoop. Do you have any suggestions?

@KaysCutz Жыл бұрын

Hi Debra You could try putting double sided tape around the outside of your inner hoop, that would help with grip the stabilizer. Maybe you could roll up the excess stabilizer around your hoop then pin through the roll. I have a difficult hoop to pin as the outside frame is higher than the inner one but with lots of practice and patience I am able to pin it with large T pins. It hurts my fingers though doing it.

Hooping with pins! Who'd have thought! I have been machine embroidering (is that a word!) for many years. I had a much smaller machine before my V3 and always had difficulty with the sides being looser than the ends and corners. I knew why the problem came about but didn't know how to overcome it until now. I think I may have some T pins somewhere. Yes, pins do bend, I have a box of bent pins but I can always find a use for them. How about those bent safety pins for quilting? Would they be too big?

@KaysCutz 4 жыл бұрын

Hi Maggie. As the pin sit on top of the hoop give them a go. I have never used them so I cant answer your questions but try them. If they work all well and good, if not you tried. Let me know how you get on.

@@KaysCutz I can't find my quilting pins at the moment. However, I was finding using pins awkward for me and I used ordinary safety pins about an inch to an inch and a half long. Much easier and I will use these or the quilting ones from now on. I didn't close them but they are stronger than pins and I was able to maneuver them into place more easily. So, when I find my quilting pins I know they will work very well. My next project is the mandala notebook cover, I have the A5 note book ready and can't wait!

@@KaysCutz There are a few things to be aware of when using open safety pins. At the top of the hoop in the centre the pins can get caught in the needle when you remove the hoop. Also, don't wear loose sleeves! They can hook in the pins as well. Otherwise, I find them easier to put in. When I find my quilting safety pins and the t pins I will compare them.

I love this suggestion, and have been able to pin the stabilizer in two of my smaller hoops. However, the larger size hoops (for the Baby Lock Solaris) do not have a flush surface when the inner and outer hoops are placed together. The edges of the outer hoops are a little higher than the inner hoop; so when I try to pin it butts against the outer hoop and I can't swing the pin around to go back into the stabilizer. I hope this makes sense to you. Do you have any suggestions for overcoming this problem?

The reason a curved pin wont is that there wont be enough tension on the stabilizer a slightly bent pin though you will get away with. I use T pin as they are thicker than standard pins and easier to get in on a hoop with a raised outer frame. As all good things it is practice though to be honest and once you master it the shape of the hoop is no longer a problem.

@@beckyberlin4843 another thought. If you ever buy more large hoops for your machine (a girl can never have enough hoops especially for multi-hooped designs) get generic ones as they usually have the same height for the inner and outer frame. Ask the seller if they are first of course to make sure before you buy as there is always an exception but that is what I have generally found to be the case.
