The silk-screening framework must be taut across the surface of the frame however not pulled extremely tightly. The wooden frame, Frequently an embroidery Tyre, holds the essence without slipping during silk screening.
Instructions
1. This will tighten the fabric evenly. The fabric should be held in the frame as symmetrically as possible.6.
Loosen the fastener on the embroidery hoop. The screw on the hoop should be loosened by hand until the frame is opened up about 1/2 inch or more.
3. Press the opened outer hoop down over the inside hoop that has the fabric draped across it. Push down gently to move the hoops together until their edges are flush. The inner hoop should be inside the outer hoop with the fabric between them.
4. Pull the edges through the outer hoop to tighten the fabric on the hoop without overstretching it.
5. Move around the hoop, gently pulling the fabric. Lay the fabric across the sil-screen frame. The fabric should be centered as best as possible on the frame.2.
Tighten the wing nut or screw on the outer hoop as you go around the frame. This will hold the fabric tightly and evenly across the entire surface to guarantee the optimum surface for silk screening.
