Explanation
Hoop size refers to the maximum area your embroidery design can occupy within an embroidery frame. Typical sizes include 4x4”, 5x7”, or 8x12”, depending on the machine and frame type.
Important Considerations
- Usable stitching area is often smaller than hoop dimensions
- Oversized hoops can cause fabric slack and poor results
- Best practice: use the smallest hoop that fits your design
Tip: Some machines auto-detect hoop size, while others require manual selection.
