	HOOP APPLICATION:
	Cut Wet-N-Set larger than the size of the hoop to be used, then hoop the backing only. (Adhesive side up)
	Activate the adhesive surface with water by using a foam paintbrush, rag, damp sponge or a stamp roller moistener w a diamond shaped head. Be sure that the surface is evenly moistened. Do not over-moisten
	Position article on tacky surface, flattening out all wrinkles with a slightly firm touch. If repositioning is required, simply turn article over and remoisten where the glue line touches the fabric. This will re-activate the adhesive allowing you to reposition.
	Insert into machine, making sure area to be embroidered is free of wrinkles and loose fabric.
	Embroider the item. When finished simply tear or cut away the backing as you normally would, keeping in mind that there may be some resistance from the adhesive.

	HOOPLESS APPLICATION:
	Select a hoopless frame / window and size that will allow the embroidered area to slide under the arm of the machine.
	After choosing the proper size window, Wet-n-Set must be cut to that size making sure that it does not extend past the edges of the frame.
	Activate the adhesive surface with water by using a foam paintbrush, rag,stamp moistener or a damp sponge. Be sure that the surface is evenly moistened. (Do not over-moisten)
	Adhere the backing to the backside of the window. Insert frame on to the machine. For the initial loading of the garment place the pantograph far enough back so that the entire length of the frame is resting on the arm of the machine.
	Load article by sliding on to the frame and firmly adhering to the tacky surface. Please note that the clearance under the arm for the article to move freely may be tight depending on the size of the embroidery field and the window frame that is being used.
	Allow several seconds for the adhesive to set, and then embroider the item.
	When finished, remove the frame from the machine and carefully tear or cut away the backing from the garment as well as the frame. Any residue remaining on the frame can be removed with a simple wiping from a damp rag or sponge.

Wet-N'-Set is a completely safe product with no harmful chemicals. The adhesive is completely water soluble for fast easy clean up and won't 'gum' up needles or contaminate any moving parts on the machine.
