Troubleshooting
Fabric won't stay taut
Ensure the brass screw is tightened sufficiently. Check that the fabric is evenly distributed and that the inner and outer rings are properly aligned.
Hoop feels rough on fabric
Inspect the wood surface for any splinters or rough patches. If found, gently sand with very fine-grit sandpaper. Ensure the wood is clean and dry.
Difficulty tightening the screw
Check for any debris or obstruction in the screw threads. Gently try to loosen and re-tighten the screw. Ensure the rings are correctly seated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the Prym Quilting Hoop, first loosen the brass adjusting screw until the inner and outer rings separate sufficiently. Place your quilt fabric over the inner ring, ensuring it is centered. Then, place the outer ring over the fabric and inner ring. Gently press down on the outer ring while simultaneously pulling the fabric taut from the top. Once the fabric is roughly in place, tighten the brass screw evenly until the fabric is drum-tight. Ensure the fabric is smooth and free of wrinkles. This hoop is compatible with most standard quilting fabrics. To care for your hoop, wipe it clean with a slightly damp cloth if necessary, and avoid soaking it in water. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent warping or cracking.
