Thick‚ coarse or large fabrics can be challenging‚ but with the magnetic hoop‚ hooping is no longer a problem!\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eHoop\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere are raised markings on the hoop indicating the centre of the embroidery area. When positioning the fabric in the hoop‚ you can easily feel the raised markings (ill. A) through the fabric with your fingertips.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eMagnets and hooping\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUse the magnets to secure the fabric to the hoop. For the best results‚ place the magnets evenly around the hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cul\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTo attach a magnet‚ tilt it slightly and slide it into position (ill. B).\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eStart by attaching the large top and bottom magnets‚ then place the side magnets – one short and one long on each side‚ arranged so the short magnet faces the long one and vice versa.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePosition the magnets so that the arrows face the embroidery area.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eMake sure that there is enough space in each corner of the hoop to allow it to pass under the foot.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003ePlace the magnets as illustrated for best results (ill. B).\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eTo remove a magnet‚ gently push it by the edge just under the arrow (ill. C) and push it towards the centre of the hoop.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003eWhen not in use‚ store the magnets directly on the hoop.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e Always keep the magnets separated to prevent harming your fingers when handling them.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eTemplate\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe template includes both inch and centimetre measurements. Use it to help hoop the fabric smoothly and evenly before placing the magnets. It also helps maintain fabric tension while hooping.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThere are slits in the template that allow you to mark the fabric using a water-soluble fabric pen. Use the printed lines as a guide when aligning your fabric or project.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eWhen placing the magnets‚ fit them snugly between the grooves of the template to ensure that the template is removed easily afterwards. Start by positioning the magnet with the lip facing upward‚ then gently fold it down into place (ill. D).\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUsing the template is especially recommended when hooping sheer or lightweight fabrics‚ as it helps keep the material secure and smooth before attaching the magnets.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3\u003eDifferent ways to use the hoop\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis hoop is designed to be used with a stabiliser for larger embroidery projects.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eYou can easily rehoop the fabric without removing the hoop from the machine‚ allowing you to continue embroidering in any direction. This is especially useful when working on large projects such as quilts‚ where repositioning is needed to cover a larger area.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eStandard embroidery\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe large magnetic hoop is also suitable for standard embroidery. Place the stabiliser on the hoop and place the fabric on top. Use the magnets to fix the fabric to the hoop.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eQuilting\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThis hoop is especially well suited for large quilting projects such as edge-to-edge embroidery. When quilting‚ it is recommended to start in the centre of the quilt and work your way outward (ill. E). The large hoop area allows you to cover more of the quilt at once‚ reducing the number of rehoopings needed.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eTo ensure smooth and even stitching‚ make sure the quilt is fully supported at both the front and back of the machine. Avoid letting the quilt hang off the table‚ as this can cause pulling or shifting. Use the large hoop support to keep the quilt flat and steady while embroidering.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe hoop makes it easy to rehoop without removing it from the machine‚ which is especially helpful when working on large projects where continuous alignment is important.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch4\u003eEndless embroidery\u003c\/h4\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEndless embroideries are done easily with the magnetic hoop.
