Embroidering Names on Christmas Stockings
I'm very new to embroidery with a used toyota 9000. I've done shirts just fine and my sister brought me some Christmas stockings to put the family member's names on. After playing with it for a little bit I realized you have to turn the stocking inside out and flip the design 180 degrees. My problem is I didn't consider clearance. The name fits in the hoop just fine, but when it gets to the end of the name the stitch plate butts up to the side of the stocking and knocks the whole thing out of the hoop.

Re: Embroidering Names on Christmas Stockings We also use the hooptech TCS. We've also done vertical names using the tajima small cylindrical hoops.

Re: Embroidering Names on Christmas Stockings Thanks everyone! Looks like I will need to invest in some slimline hoops to be able to do stockings well! I just opened my shop (screen printing and embroidery) and am sure I will be having people bring in stockings soon.

Re: Embroidering Names on Christmas Stockings If the stockings are fuzzy you need a topping too.

Re: Embroidering Names on Christmas Stockings I use Fast Frames. They are more versatile. Also, if you use the sticky from RNK distributing, you won't have the adhesive buildup like others leave.

Re: Embroidering Names on Christmas Stockings I used the hoop tech clamps....no need for sticky backing, just placed a piece of tear away in the clamp under the fabric.
