Hooping for Machine Embroidery Tip: The Tape Technique

[@gillscarisbrick645]

I have tried this method on the following day of watching this video. It works! I was so impressed that I have bought enough double sided sticky tape to go around the world twice! Thank you again.

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

Glad to hear it Gill! Enjoy the new trick and all that tape ;)

[@gailbeam2799]

Thanks for the video on a method that I will have to try, and thanks for the very useful tip on using diaper wipes for cleaning the hoops.

[@janetsweatman6758]

Awesome tip. I never thought of using this

[@carolfinck9471]

Thank you so much John, I use the dbl tape but the baby wipe idea is great.

[@kokkieventer8837]

I already use this method, and it works great.

[@sophiat8783]

Thanks for this useful tip❤️❤️❤️

[@gailhardock1206]

I definitely need to try this on my stretchy fabrics - thank you!

Good tip thanks

[@gillscarisbrick645]

Great tip, thank you John

[@dancestuffdiva3571]

Isopropyl alcohol is what I found to work the best and fastest on double sided tape, 505 spray, and even the (accidentally) wet heavy water soluble stabilizer crud (even the caked on old stuff). I will have to also try the unscented diaper wipes sometime for immediate clean up post dehooping! Thanks for posting this video! You got a new subscriber here!

Wonderful tip Thanks ☺️

[@anneluehr262]

Hello John. Good tip. Question: with stretchy fabric i.e. a t-shirt, would you pull the fabric tight or just smooth it out to the edge and then over the tape?

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

Anne Luehr with t-shirts/knits I’ll just try to smooth and not stretch the fabric. That said, I have had customers bring me tight fitted garments/toques that did need to be stretched to accommodate how it would be worn. The wonderful world of embroidery :)

[@1949chefjojo]

Awesome! This is a good technique.

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

It really is! Thanks for watching :)

[@anitacampion6021]

How clever😊

[@caroleshaw9822]

This is a wonderful tip, Thank you for sharing. But, I was wondering, does the sticky tape leave a residue of your fabric at all? (I am guessing it depends on which tape you use too?)

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

You are correct, the tape you use will dictate the results.

[@ajmd3655]

Thank you so much.

[@debbierushing7850]

Thanks so much. Which department do you find this tape in?

[@Braisin-Raisin]

Really good idea! Does anyone know what to use to remove the temporary adhesive spray from the hoop grid insert without also removing the colored lines?

[@lorenaromero23]

Maybe Goo Gone?

[@Braisin-Raisin]

@@lorenaromero23 Thank you - I live in Europe, so we don't have half the nifty things you have in the US! I used Turps - it worked.

[@kimbenson118]

what about hoop burns? I rarely hoop my fabric--

[@EmbroideryLegacy]

kim Benson hoop burn generally happens when you tighten down the screw after its hooped. If you preset your hoops properly your material shouldn’t be marked. Some materials to mark more than others, in production and to this day I have Jiffy steamer. Quick hit of steam and Moro’s are gone.

[@JS-vd9dt]

I’m having issues w/ gapping in my embroidery designs (both stock images from my machine and designs that I have digitized) any ideas why? I make sure nothing is obstructing the machine, I try not to move the arm when I change needles, thread etc, I make the fabric flat when I hoop it. But always towards the end of the design, the outline at the bottom starts to gap from the design.. sigh

[@787310]

you could try checking the tension of your fabric. if its correctly tensioned it would sound almost like a drum. if your fabric tension is good then you may not be accounting for push and pull correctly in your digitized file. go back to it and slightly make certain elements larger since certain embroidery designs can "shrink" and make gaps appear

[@tatyanasurenyan-krech6372]

I’m too scared to do this
