For everything small and special – the adhesive frames

Adhesive frames work, as their name suggests, in combination with adhesive backing. This backing is attached to the hoop before the material to be embroidered is glued to it. After the embroidery process, the embroidery material is simply removed and the resulting hole in the stabilizer is filled with a new layer. The hoops allow embroidery in places that would otherwise not be possible and make it possible to embellish even the smallest items.

What kind of adhesive
frames are available?

The adhesive frames are only available as a 7-in-1 set. This consists of a holder and seven frames in different sizes and shapes. Here are their designations and the dimensions of the embroidery field (width x depth) in brackets:

  • Rectangle 1 (5.8 x 11.3 cm)
  • Rectangle 2 (7 x 11.3 cm)
  • Rectangle 3 (8.3 x 11.3 cm)
  • Rectangle 4 (12.8 x 11.5 cm)
  • Rectangle 5 (18.1 x 13.6 cm)
  • Rectangle 6 (11.3 x 28.3 cm)
  • Semicircle (13 x 11.3 cm)

Advantages of the
adhesive frame

In addition to the Melco Fast Clamp, the adhesive frames also make it relatively easy to embroider collars and items with small openings such as socks. Special mention should also be made of items that are too small to be clamped with any other frame. A piece of textile with a diameter of only a few centimeters can be attached to the fleece. This stabilizes it sufficiently and it can then be embroidered up to the very edge.

It is usually quite difficult to apply an embellishment to the outermost edge of an article. This is because clamping frames have to clamp several points of an article to give the material the necessary stability and tension for the embroidery. With an adhesive frame, the material is attached to the stabilizer with an adhesive, which then provides sufficient tension. With these frames, it is possible, for example, to embellish the jacket (in the picture) in all the areas marked in red.

Note

When using adhesive backing, the adhesive collects in the rotary hook and other moving parts of the embroidery machine. This can lead to increased problems with thread breakage etc. It is therefore essential to clean and maintain the embroidery machine thoroughly on a regular basis.
