ABSTRACT:
A hooping apparatus and method for accurately orienting and hooping material to be embroidered. The apparatus preferably includes two plates connected in facing relationship by at least one U-shaped connector, and at least one support leg adjustable to support the apparatus in at least two positions. Both plates are preferably provided with a grid of fastener holes for attaching hoops and/or hoop brackets via fasteners to either plate. One plate is preferably rectangular and has a shoulder form which can be removable to change its orientation upon the first plate. The other plate is preferably U-shaped with two substantially flat elongated legs. The apparatus can preferably be placed in at least four positions: a first position in which the support leg is not used and in which the plates are only slightly reclined for draping garments such as jackets, shirts, vests, etc. over the shoulder form and attached plate, a second position in which the support leg is placed in its first position to recline the plates further for hooping the draped garments, a third position in which the support leg is placed in its second position to recline the plates even further for hooping large and/or flat objects such as drapes, sheets, towels, etc., and a fourth position in which the support leg is not used and the apparatus is inverted for hooping operations upon the legs of the U-shaped plate (for objects such as shirt sleeves, pant legs, bags, etc.).
