What is “floating”?

It’s a method of “avoiding” regular hooping when a fabric is bonded (with the help of various techniques: pins, sticky tape, basting, temporary spray adhesive, etc.) to a hooped stabilizer. Floating with self-adhesive stabilizers is recommended for items that can’t be hooped and also can’t be bonded otherwise.

Example: machine embroidery of a silk blouse. Silk is a really delicate fabric. It doesn’t like being hooped as its fibers might get damaged. Also, excessive needle punching isn’t advised because holes from the needles just won’t close. So, the machine embroidery of a silk blouse will have you floating the garment on a self-adhesive type of stabilizer.
