Hooping Tips & Tricks

[@lynsellers2352]

I would like to have seen you add the drawer liner in the hoop.

We'll keep that in mind for next time! 🙂

What a great suggestion about using drawer liner!! I also have been taught that using Terial Magic to stiffen the material before placing it in the hoop can help.

I would like to know more about floating an item and hooping just the stabilizer.

[@anitagoodesign]

When we float an item we either baste it in place or we will use Perfect Stick. We will also will make a hoop liner using the rubber shelf liner. We cut strips that will go down the long side of the hoops, this is then placed on top of the stabilizer under the inner hoop. This holds the stabilizer very taut in the hoop. If you have any other questions, you can contact our tech support at [e-mail]

Do you put the drawer linger on the top or underneath the stabilizer?

[@sallysenst7463]

I like to use T pins around the stabilizer. I find that the T pins hold the stabilizer and any other material in place so it doesn't slip or pucker.

Great idea Sally!

What about using left over stabilizer pieces? Any tips?

[@anitagoodesign]

Feel free to reach out to our tech support, Martha, to learn about ways to use those left over pieces! You can email her at [e-mail]

Would have been better if you demonstrated hooping the stabilizer WITH the shelf lining. lazy way to demonstrate without hooping together.

We're sorry you feel that way, Julie. Thank you for watching!
