ABSTRACT:
An embroidery hoop press and method of operation permit the user to frame large areas of thick fabric between inner and outer embroidery hoops by the use of relatively little pressure. The mechanical press includes an upper platen for retaining the inner fabric hoop which is movable in an arcuate path downwardly to allow the hoops to initially contact an angle of approximately 10.degree.. With continued downward force the press gradually causes the inner and outer fabric hoops to fully engage as the lower platen simultaneously pivots. A dampener attached to the upper platen allows the operator to quickly release the handle without injury or vibration.
