Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean workspace and a pair of embroidery scissors. Start by separating the two rings of the bamboo hoop and placing the pre-printed fabric over the inner ring, then secure with the outer ring. Ensure the fabric is centered and drum-tight before beginning your first stitch. When working with the six-stranded polyester threads, always separate the strands according to the instructions to avoid bulky, uneven embroidery. Once the project is complete, store the finished hoop out of direct sunlight to maintain the vibrancy of the thread colors. To clean, gently dust with a soft brush if necessary; avoid washing the embroidered piece, as this can affect the tension and the finish of the felt backing.
