Preparing the Embroidery Hoop

The embroidery hoop consists of an outer and an inner hoop. There is a corresponding template for every hoop. The embroidery area is rasterized with 1 cm (0.39 in) squares. The center is marked with hole and cross lines. The required marks can be transferred to the material.

  1. Loosen the screw (1) or open the quick release device (2) on the outer hoop.
  2. If a new type of fabric is used, the pressure must be adjusted by turning the screw.
  4. Remove the inner hoop.
  6. Place the template (1) in the inner hoop so that the bernette logo is aligned with the arrow marking at the front edge so that it clicks into place.
  8. Place fabric under the inner frame so that it is at least 2 cm above the hoop.
  9. Align the center of the embroidery design with the center of the template.
  10. Place the material and the inner hoop on the outer hoop so that the arrow markings of both hoops are aligned.
  12. Fit the hoops into each other so that the material does not move.
  13. Hoop the fabric tautly in the embroidery hoop.
  14. Close the quick release device (2). If necessary, tighten screw (1).
  15. The inner hoop should protrude about 1 mm on the underside, this prevents the hoop from sticking to the stitch plate.
  16. The quick release device (2) is for changing the same type (thickness) fabric easily and quickly.
  17. Remove the template (3) from the hoop.
