Made by Singer -- Sewing Machines, Embroidery Machines, and related items

The Singer Quantum® XL-6000 comes with the Continuous Hoop Attachment. You can create borders for garments and home decorator projects. Heirloom insertions can be created at a fraction of the cost of purchased Swiss insertions, by embroidering borders on organza or batiste. Make interesting sashings and borders for quilts, in contrast colors or tone-on-tone. You can even embroider borders on ribbon.

How the Continuous Hoop Works

This hoop is amazingly simple to use! It even comes with a design card which has a large assortment of borders ready to embroider. The sewing field is 50mm x 120mm, which is approximately 2” x 4¾”. There is an adjustable Edge Guide at the right side of the hoop, which is used for keeping fabric aligned when moving to the next area to be embroidered. At the end of each embroidered segment, the machine stitches a “V”-shaped marking stitch. The hoop has a clamp which is simply lifted up, and then the fabric is pulled toward the back of the machine. The needle is placed into the point of the “V”-shaped stitch, keeping the right edge of the fabric aligned with the Edge Guide. Put the clamp back down and begin embroidering the next section of the design. It is that easy! back to top

Creating Original Border Designs for the Continuous Hoop

The Professional Sew-Ware™ 2.00a has a function that provides for creating original borders. The software will automatically insert the “marking” stitches, which indicate the “V”-shaped placement for the needle when moving the fabric to the next area for embroidery. Edit an existing design, or digitize your own! Mix designs from cards, create cross-stitch borders, etc. There is no limit to what one can create. The software makes it so easy!

SINGER® Multi-Hooping System

The SINGER® Multi-Hooping System allows for creating oversized embroideries (larger than the largest hoop) by rehooping the fabric, while ensuring precisely matched designs. Multi-Hooping works on the same concept as GPS (Global Positioning System). By identifying three points on the fabric, the Quantum® XL-6000 is able to triangulate the position of the fabric in the hoop and adjust the embroidery accordingly. No longer do you need to worry about hooping the fabric perfectly straight or centered. This system allows you to sew a perfectly embroidered Multi-Hooped embroidery creation every time, even without the use of templates. Never again ruin a beautiful embroidered piece simply because of a misaligned hoop. Although the technology is advanced, the operation is simple. The advantage to the hoop’s size (5.5” x 9.5”) is that it keeps fabric taut in the sewing field for each hooping. Hoops that get too large can begin to create design distortion because the fabric is extended over too large of an area. Now making large embroidery designs is easy!
