If you are embroidering an article’s edge like a blouse or vest and it is not wide enough to fit securely in your hoop, iron on a strip of stabilizer to the edge. This will make it wider and be more stable in the hoop. You can also temporarily sew a strip of water soluble stabilizer to the edge which will disolve when finished. That way your article is secure in the hoop and will embroider OK.

What a great fixer. Thanks so much I would have never thought of it.
I have found that when embroidering under sized items, or the edge of an item, or even a ribbon, it is easier to hoop the stabilizer and pin the item in the proper place on the stabilizer. This works also for preventing hoop burn. Make sure your pins are around the edge out of the way of the needle.
Thanks for this info…. I’m working on Hoopsister’s quilt, which is all done in the hoop…. I was wondering how i could put another square in the cut out while still in the hoop… this will work great…. thanks
What a great idea! Now, why didn’t I think of that?
I just realized it was Jaci’s tip about hooping jeans from this site.
[editor's note: yes, with a little more added.
