How to prevent fabrics from moving in the hoop
1. You need a roll of hurt free tape for first aid, available at any pharmacy. This tape sticks to itself.
2. Roll the tape twice on each side of the top part of the hoop, “Sticky” side out. Don’t tape the corners, since those are already tight enough. It’s the side, and not the corners, where the fabric tends to shift most.
3. Complete all four sides of the top ( inside part ) of the hoop. Don’t place more than two layers of the roll but you can place more than one roll per side if the side is large enough.
4. Hoop your fabric as normally would. The fabric should be stretch to sound like a drum and the hoop tight enough to hold the fabric without hurting it. Never pull the fabric to one side or the other since that would distort it. You’re now ready to embroid without the fabric moving within the hoop. Your stitches will go in the right place now! This method is very helpful when you use large hoops.
