I did this to my hoop after watching this video and my final results are way better and I have less thread breakage and no puckering due to the extra stability! Bonus...I got an entire roll at Walmart for .99 and didn't use hardly any of it...this roll will last forever! Thanks for the video!

What a great idea, i have only been embroidering for 12mths love all your ideas they are so helpful. I will be giving this a go, thank you so much Di

Nice demo...particularly like the idea of the pencil grippers!

Thanks for taking your time to share your skills. I plan to try this method.

Great video. Have had my machine for 10 years this will be so helpful. Thanks you.

This trick we used on high production 20-24 heads machine 30+ years ago on hooping process for not leave shiny marks on the garment so after hooping to safe time on steaming away the hoop marks. It looks like this trick have 2 for 1 used .👏

What a great idea; thank you. Will for sure put the liner on my hoops.

Hi! Glad to see this great tip and how you cut it! I've been using the shelf liners for years and never thought about the way you do it! I am definitely going to use your idea from now on. Thank you for sharing this great tip!

Thank you. This was very kind and smart of you to share with us.

Thanks very much, Diane. Need to get the shelf lining next time I'm out. Looks a good method.

Thanks very much for taking the time to do this for us - extremely helpful!

Thank you you so much. I tried your technique and it worked. I was having problems with puckering, but no any more!!!!!

On a day when I couldn't stay awake while drawing, I got all my supplies out and upgraded all my Janome 500e hoops with your method. The first thing I embroidered with an improved hoop was vinyl floated over fabric-like wss, and it worked great. (I did have to open the screw somewhat.) This beats my previous shelf liner hooping aid of sticking on strips of shelf liner with double-sided basting tape. You're probably aware that besides this being a great help for hooping thinner stabilizers (because hoops do not get tight enough!), adding the shelf liner to hoops is a satisfying project.

Another great idea Di. Thank you!

What a great idea. Can get it at the Dollar store.

Good idea! I like to do FSL, so that would be perfect. I also have an idea about using silk dupion without stabilizer so that would help to really hold the fabric taut. Thank you!

Fabulous idea. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you lady for your great tip! I will give it try when I can! Thanks!!

I wish I had seen this yesterday! LOL, I will try this before my next project tho. Thank you.

Very helpful! Thanks so much for the shelf liner tip for use in embroidery hoops! USA

This is a very nice idea! I will try it. I also have a magnetic hoop, which was expensive, but when holding thick things like quilts and towels, it is worth every penny. It has a very very strong magnet that really hurts when you pinch your fingers in it. Ask me how I know! I am much more careful now.

Grand idea!!! I’ll do this tomorrow!

Clever and very helpful. Thank you ;)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Great tip thanks for sharing

very helpful thanks!🤗

Great idea! I am starting on electronic embroidery and I learned to use the double tape only. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you very much for replying please make a video how you float embroidery and take embroider y off and how you get the next hoop ready for embroidery sorry am a new machine embroider

Ingenious thank you for sharing.

You can also draw a template on paper and place it on top of the rubberized fabric fir cutting. It might be a safer way to cut. Thank you for the idea.

spongy medical tapes works great too. the kind they wrap around wound dressing to keep it in place. it sticks to itself. so you wrap a small piece around the hoop at the corners. its called gentle tape at the Dollar Tree.

The dollar store has a thinner rubber material that isn't so hard to hoop. I had just been using pieces of it, like your idea of making a frame for the entire hoop. Thanks

thanx 4 sharing i learnt a lot

Thank you for the idea, I will try the pencil grip for sure. It's hard to tighten.

Am scared if the fabric pops out when i am Embroidering On the machine have you got any ideas how i can stop it coming out

Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed learning how to set up with shelf liner. How do you attach your fabric with the liner? Thanking you in advance.

Great idea thank you. I’m in the UK and was wondering where you get your shelf lining from?

Hi DiMany thanks for your time and efforts - great vid!! Have you used this with any FSL designs with either solvy or fabric type soluble stabiliser?Thanks

Thanks for the demo on putting on the stabilizer. Now what do you do when you need to add the fabric you will be using? Do you put is on top of the stabilizer when you are hooping or are you just floating the material?????

Very very new to machine embroidery here, tho not to general sewing 😊 What do you mean that you "float" the fabric but hoop the stabilizer?

When using shelve liner for hoops what happens when you have set it up but the stabiliser is thicker how does it work

Thank you! You say Scotch Guard, but I couldn’t see the product. Is it double stick Scotch tape?

Thanks😘😘😘

Hi Di. I have had the opposite problem. I have a Brother SE400. I'm new and I've been monogramming initials on towels, and I have to use my wooden mallet to push the inside hoop into the outside hoop. Yikes!

Do you still use this machine? What are your thoughts on Singer? I am looking to purchase a new one.

how to saw

What is the purpose for doing this?

I'm new to machine embroidery- does this enable me to use fabric without stabilizer? or just to help the fabric and stabilizer to sit firmly in the hoop? I imagine I'll be using so much stabilizer, that if this will mean I Won't need it except with thin fabrics... but I could very well be dreaming ;)

Brilliant! 😊

I want to do this but I am nervous

Where do I buy shelf liner from plz

I do not understand why you need to add shelf liner when you are hooping your stabilizer. Does your stabilizer slip around? I don't see a use for this. Please explain. Thank you!

When we cut or saw, we'll use a clamp to hold the material together so they don't move. I am a man. We do it more precisely.

Great video but can’t understand a lot of what you say. It’s like you’re mumbling. Great visuals
