Why we picked it
A short Melco lesson on how hoop tension and hooping technique affect the quality of the finished stitch-out, with recommended practices for hooping garments. Worth watching for new machine operators, and for anyone trying to work out whether a quality problem comes from the hoop rather than the design file. Pair it with a stabilizer lesson if you are putting together a training routine for new staff.
