If you are using cutaway and the right tension on the hoop you should
have no trouble. The backing makes the slippery stuff you are sewing on
non slip. We don=92t tape any thing to our hoops.

Just practice getting the tension right.

When you hoop any material, the backing gives it a 'grip' and there is
less chance of slipping. Nylon totes, jackets are the worst-and the
'wedge' or 'paper' clamp is the best solution-but bend the handles down
(like the little clamps on the WCCF hoop) so that the needle bar doesn't
run into them! Also make sure you ALWAYS do a design trace-to make sure
the clamps don't pop off. Material that is rippled or loose in the hoop
means it is NOT tight enough, or you have a hem, button hole,
button-something in between the hoops that is preventing a good tight
clamp. If that happens, you have to go to a larger hoop!
