With the fabric tube wrong side out, slip the embroidery hoop over the tube to the middle . Fold one end of the tube over the hoop, matching seam and folded edges evenly. Pin the folded edges together at four even intervals. Figure 1.

With your fingers, work the hoop into the fold at the opposite end from the pinned edges. Take extra care to assure that the hoop is fully nested into the fold all the way around. Pin fabric together up tight against the hoop at even intervals. with matching thread, make running stitches up tight against the hoop all the way around it. Backstitch to secure end of stitching. If fabfic is diectional (or if youjust like one end better than the other) be sure that the side you want to see on the outside ofyou thread catcher is now o the inside. Same goes for the carboard circle. (In other words, the first side you assemble will become the inside of the thread catcher. Bear in mind that the hoop will be at the top of the thread catcher.)
