ABSTRACT:
A machine embroidery hoop assembly which retains a fabric workpiece securely in place throughout the machine embroidery cycle without the use of tapes or structures that may cause harm to the fabric. The assembly fit easily within the machine and allows the operator to easily insert and remove the workpiece. The embroidery hoop includes two securing members, a main clamp to hold the wide end of the workpiece and an elastic restraint to hold the free end. The main clamp has a wide, spring loaded bar cooperating with a fixed support to keep the fabric taut over its width, while the elastic restraint keeps the fabric pulled flat, so that the embroidery can be properly applied. The main clamp can easily be manually raised and lowered so the workpiece can be quickly and easily positioned in the hoop and then removed after embroidery. The whole assembly is of low height and fits easily into embroidery machine. Since the assembly holding the workpiece is entirely self-contained, there are no temporary parts such as adhesive tape which can come loose and foul the machine.
