(1) Screw
After stretching the fabric and gently tightening the corner screw(s) enough to hold the fabric in place, the fabric should make a drum-like sound if gently tapped with a finger.
Be sure to position the inner and outer frames together so that all sides (top and bottom) are even.

To correctly frame the fabric in the embroidery frame, we recommend using a flat surface.

<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 handing 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.

<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.
