How to hoop and embroider Christmas stockings and other tricky items.

Sewing & EmbroideryLori HareComment

Embroidering names on items with limited opening such as Christmas stockings and bags can be tricky. Small openings make it difficult to hoop iand fit over the neck of the machine. If you can find a hoop small enough to fit in the bag that still allows you to fit it on the machine, it is usually too small to fit the name that you want on your stocking! UGH!! This video shows you how I am able to solve that problem, by using a scanning feature that enables me to start a name and when I run out of room, I can simply move my hoop and continue embroidering without losing my placement. I love this machine!!
