I use them on sweatshirts and jacket backs. I usually hoop with it a little
loose, stretch the garment just enough to get the wrinkles out and not so
much as to stretch the garment too much. Then I tighten the hoop down a
little. I changed out the tightening screws on mine so they are the same
ones as the ones on the wood hoops so they are easier to adjust.
