Singer Instructions for Art Embroidery 

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Sometimes the material upon which the em broidery is to be done is smaller than the hoops, or the design is so large that it comes close to the cloth. In such cases sew the material firmly to a piece of strong cloth large enough to cover the frame. In order to keep the work fresh and avoid disfiguring pinholes, it is advisable to sew to the outer rim of the larger hoop a piece of cloth large enough to permit of rolling in it whatever material may project beyond the frame while it is on the machine, and to wrap the entire design in while it is put away.
