Can someone explain to me how this does work? I have a free arm and I wanted to embroider on a pocket. How do I place the little hoop on it? I cant figure it out myself  I do hope someone can explain this to me. Thanks  Maggy |

Well, you can try turning the pocket wrong side out and doing it hoopless, but I think that in something as small as a pocket you won't be able to do it. By using the hoopless method (where the shirt is stuck to the stabilizer by adhesive and usually basting, more likely pins just out of the embroidery field so that you have more room to work), you actually give yourself more room, but, as I said, I think that in this case, that will not give you enough room to manipulate the pocket. Most people either embroider through the pocket and the shirt, making the pocket useless, remove the pocket, or embroidery above the pocket.

Thank you very much for your answer! I thought too these are the only ways you can do that. |
