Product spotlight Three helpful embroidery tools you’ll want (and need!) I
f you’ve ever struggled with machine embroidery, it’s possible that you didn’t have the right tools to complete your project effectively.
Embroidery tools and accessories make it faster and easier to embroider on a wide variety of items, correct mistakes and even prevent mistakes.
While there are so many helpful tools available on ETC’s website, these tools have been narrowed down to just three every embroider should consider adding to their toolbox. Do you have any of these tools in your embroidery stash yet?
1) Mighty Hoops – take the stress out of framing The Mighty Hoop is a strong magnetic hoop, which can be used on almost any embroidery machine.
If you own these hoops, you probably use them for just about everything you can. Why?
These ‘mighty’ hoops essentially hoop the material themselves. Although they’re shaped similarly to regular hoops, these hoops contain magnets that cling together instantly when they meet. There is no need to adjust the outer ring of the hoop, because it holds the garment with magnetic force, and automatically adjusts for different thicknesses. This reduces time spent hooping and allows you to easily hoop thick items. Pro tip: These hoops also help reduce hoop burn, which are the marks left behind by the hoop on your fabric, making it great for delicate items that are prone to hoop burn like satin.

2) The HoopMaster The HoopMaster is perfect for those who struggle to reach consistent design placement. This hooping station’s placement guides reveal exactly where to place your design according to the shirt and hoop size.
If you’re looking for quick and easy design placement and hooping, the Hoopmaster will undoubtedly cut the time it takes to complete bulk orders, maximizing productivity within your business!
3) Tension Gauge In machine embroidery, proper thread tension is crucial to ensure smooth operation.
Machine embroidery tension gauges allow you to measure your thread tension setting and adjust it until you’ve reached the proper setting. Top thread tension gauges are hooked to the top thread from the presser foot.
By pulling on the thread, you can determine the tension the embroidery machine is applying on the thread.
