Large/small pieces of fabric
This section provides information on embroidering
fabric that is either much larger or much smaller
than the embroidery frame.
■ Embroidering large pieces of fabric or heavy
clothing
When embroidering large pieces of fabric or
heavy pieces of clothing, use a clothespin or
binder clip to fasten the excess fabric to the
embroidery frame so that it does not hang down
from the frame. Embroidering with excess fabric
hanging down from the embroidery frame may
prevent the frame from moving properly and
may result in a misaligned pattern.
• Use a clothespin or binder clip to fasten the
excess fabric to the embroidery frame.
■ Embroidering small pieces of fabric
When embroidering pieces of fabric that are
smaller than the embroidery frame, use spray
fabric adhesive to attach the fabric to stabilizer
(backing) hooped in the embroidery frame. With
fabrics where you do not wish to use spray
adhesive, baste the fabric to the stabilizer
(backing).

■ Embroidering the corner of fabric
When embroidering the corner of a piece of
fabric, use spray fabric adhesive to attach the
corner of the fabric to stabilizer (backing), and
then hoop the stabilizer (backing) in the
embroidery frame. With fabrics where you do
not wish to use spray adhesive, baste the fabric
to the stabilizer (backing).

■ Embroidering narrow pieces of fabric, such as
ribbon
When embroidering narrow pieces of fabric, use
spray fabric adhesive to attach the fabric to
stabilizer (backing), and then hoop the stabilizer
(backing) in the embroidery frame. With fabrics
where you do not wish to use spray adhesive,
clamp both ends of the fabric, together with the
stabilizer (backing), in the embroidery frame.
